Names being removed from buildings at Clemson!!!


Jun 12, 2020, 1:49 PM

Isn't change done by rooting out what was really bad, and trying to move forward with something good. No matter what side of the fence you're own, Ben Tillman and Calhoun was absolutely terrible people. Sure Clemson was a good thing, and we can still have Clemson without marking Clemson in their name sake bc everytime you see their name on anything at Clemson, you can't help but to see the ugly their names represented in the State of South Carolina. For me personally, and many others, Clemson is better off without their names knowing what those men represented in their hearts, I believe that if those men could see what Clemson has become, with accepting students of every race and every skin color, I think they're first thoughts would be, burn it down, burn Clemson down to ground!!!

totally agree. If Clemson is going to lead and become a national focus of excellence, we can't take on the baggage of the slavery and segregationist past.
