As the kick-off event for First Amendment Day, a UNC Liberty Tree was planted in front of Carroll Hall, home to the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Cathy Packer, faculty director of the UNC Center for Media Law and Policy; Richard Harrill, director of the Campus Y; and Dean Jean Folkerts of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication each spoke briefly. Then Student Body President Jasmin Jones read the First Amendment. Members of the audience joined in to help plant the tree. There was a “UNC Liberty Tree” sign on the tree (an elm) and a Carolina blue bow on the shovel.
