Coincidence that I also changed my username from Tillman28? I think not.
So someone smarter explain this. Because the Tillman family donated to have this name there is a different process before it can be removed correct?
Wow. Good for Clemson for taking these steps. There's no way to defend anything being named after Tillman

It was originally know as Main Building but people referred to it as Old Main.What was it called before "Old Main"? Surely it wasn't ALWAYS called that.

This isn’t true... every state that left the union had an Articles of Secession and slavery is mentioned in each one. To say that it wasn’t even a factor in the equation until two years into the war is not correct.Very good move by the BOT. On the flip side, I understand the carvings of Confederate generals on the side of Stone Mountain in Atlanta will be removed by the end of the year. While I have no issue and even support removing the confederate flag from government facilities, I think the dismantling of historical monuments is tragic and more representative of terrorist groups like ISIS. So many seem to be hung up on any and all reference to the Confederacy as constituting slavery and racism when, in fact, the War Between the States was started over economic trade restrictions placed upon the Southern States by the Union. Slavery did not even factor into the equation until two years into the fighting when President Lincoln, a shrewd Republican politician, recognized that declaring the emancipation of slaves would cause potential chaos in the South, to the military advantage of the Union. Sadly, the war is almost exclusively attributed to slavery now, especially by those less knowledgeable living outside the South. I for one had ancestors who fought for the Confederacy, none of whom owned slaves. I suspect that the vast majority of Confederate soldiers owned no slaves and were fighting instead to protect their homes and freedoms. I will forever be ashamed and detest the idea of slavery or racism of any kind. I have great friends two beautiful God children that are black that I love dearly. However, I will always chose to honor my ancestors who risked there lives, were seriously wounded, captured and survived horrible northern prisons for the land they loved.

I need a new last name since my ancestors fought in the Civil War. Any good ideas?
They fought in WWI, WWII, Korean, and Vietnam too but that doesn’t count.
I chose my username with a little more thought this timeOldMain28 was already taken?

The history of stone mountain is steeped in despicable KKK led racism and the carving is less than 100 years old. Leaving it up would be more akin to ISIS building monuments and then arguing to leave them to avoid "rewriting history".Very good move by the BOT.
