The campus and Chapel Hill community honored the memory of 22-year-old James Lewis Cates Jr., who died as a victim of racial violence in 1970.
The visit to the Ackland marked the academy’s first field trip to the UNC-Chapel Hill campus and provided students the chance to look closely, to see far and to engage – with art and with a new place – in new ways.
