Julian Carr was an outspoken white supremacist, who boasted during his monument dedication speech that he “horse-whipped a Negro wench” 100 yards from the site of the controversial Silent Sam monument to Confederate soldiers on the campus of UNC Chapel Hill.
In 1909, Carr purchased the Alberta Cotton Mill from Thomas F. Lloyd in what was then called West End, North Carolina, by Chapel Hill. After agreeing to extend electricity to the town, it was named Carrboro in honor of him.[3] In the 1970s, the mill was restored and opened as Carr Mill Mall. And everyone knows that Unicorns are a lot Cooler than Carr ever was!
