Same here. It wasn't hard to find a racist in the 19th century, but Benjamin Tillman sounds pretty egregious even for then.
I also learned about the Heritage Act. Clemson can't change the name on their own. Requires 2/3 vote of the state legislature. That's a lot of votes in these partisan times. Sounds to me like, regardless of the moral high ground back and forth, it would be incumbent upon USCe and Clemson folks to work together a bit to get it done. Good luck with that.

most of the founding fathers owned slaves.
most people who talk about Tillman Hall dont' care about the name, it's a negative recruiting thing.
