Following Friday’s historic day at Clemson University, its football team will continue the school’s march to improve respect, inclusion, and diversity with their Clemson Community Peaceful Demonstration this evening at Bowman Field.
More than 2,000 people are expected to attend the demonstration, which was put together by members of the Clemson football team over the last week and a half. The peaceful demonstration, which begins at 6 p.m., will come following Friday’s news when Clemson’s Board of Trustees voted to remove the name of John C. Calhoun from the name of Clemson University’s honor college.
The school’s BOT will also request the South Carolina General Assembly to remove the name of Ben Tillman from Tillman Hall and restore its original name of the Main Building.
