To honestly have an opinion concerning

name changing, I suggest taking time to read the history of both men with an open mind and in relation to their time.
They were both good, bad and important to the history of Clemson.

From Calhoun bio “Calhoun viewed himself as a model slave owner, taking an active interest in the construction of the Fort Hill slave quarters and giving his son-in-law Thomas Green Clemson guidance on how best to preserve the value of his own slaves. When Clemson was considering hiring out some of his slaves because of financial problems, Calhoun warned him, “The object of him who hires is generally to make the most he can out of them, without regard to the comfort of health, and usually to the entire neglect of the children and sick.”[21] Calhoun even offered to purchase the African-American slaves from his son-in-law as another option to putting them out for rent.”

Doesn't matter. The geniuses want Lynchburg, VA renamed because they are terrorized by the name, although it is named for founder John Lynch who was an abolitionist. It's all about the feelings, not facts. The city has to prove it's accountable to BLM.

Anyway, this has nothing to do with Football.


“He believed in emancipating slaves,” Chief Public History Officer Ted Delaney told WSET, describing him as progressive. “He had slaves but he freed all of his.”
