CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Protests broke out at Chapel Hill Saturday.
Members of the 'Hiers of the Confederacy' group came onto the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill with Confederate flags.
This comes after previous reports that the group planned to put Confederate flags around campus where Silent Sam once stood.
The controversial statue was taken down by protesters who deemed it racist, and its base by former chancellor because it posed a security risk.
The group was met by counter-protesters and members of 'Defend UNC.'
In a Facebook post before Saturday's protest, the group set a time to meet at the Silent Sam Hole at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 23.
