Twitter reacts to Clemson demonstration on Bowman Field |
Clemson athletes including
Trevor Lawrence,
Darien Rencher, Mike Jones Jr., and
Cornell Powell held a peaceful demonstration at Bowman Field on Saturday.
The event had opening remarks, an 8 minute and 46 second moment of silence, and a two-mile march around the community. Check out some of the pictures, videos, interviews, and different posts on social media of the event: People have taken a knee for an eight minute moment of silence. Included are Coach Swinney's right hand man, Woody McCorvey (bottom right ) and members of the team (left) pic.twitter.com/mqnftFbmQv #Clemson RB Darien Rencher’s sign might look familiar. That’s because it’s the same one Jay Urich from the #Gamecocks carries. Urich overnighted it to him. ?@foxcarolinanews? pic.twitter.com/U0bo9n0Jjf THANK YOU CLEMSON for once again being a LIGHT to the world today. So much genuine LOVE displayed in this little old town yet, it was one of the best things I have EVER been apart of. Let us continue to move in the right direction one day at a time ?????
