by Simone E., Editor-in-Chief On February 7th, 2018, the campus of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga woke up to flyers on top of Freshman Senate’s Black History Month posters. The posters featured quotes by famous African Americans. There were three flyers posted on top of the posters from a group called Vanguard America. The stickers featured words such as “Hitler was right,” “Death to Black Families,” “White Power” as well as information about the group. Someone alerted the Dean of Students Office about the situation by bringing one of the vandalized posters to the office, the second poster was taken down, near the UC like the first one, by the Dean of Students Office, and the third poster, situated near the Alumni House and the Honors College House, by a faculty member of the Honors College. The Dean of Students Office spoke with Freshman Senate at their weekly meeting that occurred after the vandalism about the nature of the event and security. Emails were sent out from Chancellor Angle, SGA President Emond, and allegedly, another one from the UT system as well.
