The UNCG board of trustees, following the recommendation of a panel it appointed to examine the legacy of Charles B.

The auditorium opened in 1927 and was named a year later for Aycock, who served as North Carolina governor from 1901 to 1905. Aycock, lauded for his stance on education at the time, was also a major architect of a white supremacy campaign in the late 19th century.

UNC protest

Community members and students at UNC Chapel Hill protest campus buildings named for slave owners and avowed white supremacists.

The UNCG board of trustees, following the recommendation of a panel it appointed to examine the legacy of Charles B. Aycock, voted 9-2 in February 2016 to take his name off the school’s 89-year-old auditorium. The auditorium opened in 1927 and was named a year later for Aycock, who served as North Carolina governor from 1901 to 1905. Aycock, lauded for his stance on education at the time, was also a major architect of a white supremacy campaign in the late 19th century.
