Hundreds gathered at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Tuesday night to protest for the removal of a Confederate statue at the campus.

Demonstrators gathered around the bronze soldier known as "Silent Sam" calling for the Confederate statue to be torn down.

Video by local news outlet WRAL showed people chanting "No KKK! No Fascist USA!" and others yelling, "This is Silent Sam's last semester! We will not be silenced by wealthy alumni and the police!"
