The Unsung Founders Memorial graces the McCorkle Place lawn in front of the Alumni Building. Artist Do-Ho Suh created the memorial, which honors the men and women of color - enslaved and free - who helped build Carolina. The memorial was installed on May 11, 2005.

Three-hundred figurines based on three larger bronze sculptures support the memorial, which is ringed by five stone seats. The central part of the memorial acts as a table and contains the inscription: “The Class of 2002 honors the University’s unsung founders the people of color bond and free who helped build the Carolina that we cherish today.”
