Prof. Leloudis on the History of UNC’s Responses to Pandemics

Jim Leloudis was recently featured in an article for the News and Observer about the history of UNC’s responses to pandemics. Dr. Leloudis explains that UNC reopened doing the 1918 flu pandemic, and shines a light on this history to encourage North Carolinians to “think about what kind of state we want to live in…[and] to think about the obligations we owe each other.” Read the article here.

*Though the History Department uses the name Pauli Murray Hall for our building, on official maps you will find it as Hamilton Hall. Joseph Grégoire de Roulhac Hamilton’s intellectually dishonest historical and archival work promoted white supremacy. In contrast, Pauli Murray marshaled unassailable evidence and analysis in the service of racial and gender equality. In July 2020, all of the departments housed in the building agreed to adopt the name Pauli Murray Hall in place of Hamilton Hall. An official request with the Chancellor is pending.
