DESCRIPTION: 

Clemson University will strip the name of John C. Calhoun,

a supporter of slave ownership before the Civil War, from its honors 

college after a petition to remove it gained over 20,000 signatures. 

 

TRANSCRIPT: 

And, what's happening at a number of colleges across the nation?

Students, demanding changes be made on campus to support unified 

calls to end racism. For weeks, large protests over social injustice have taken 

over major cities. This morning students at colleges and universities across the 

country are making sure the messages of anti-racism echoed in the streets are 

now being heard on campus. Institutions like to say everybody had equal access 

to it, but it's named for a person who said the slavery is a positive good. 

The board of trustees at Clemson University stripping John Calhoun's name from

its honors college after NFL stars deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins who

went to the school joined over 20,000 others to sign a petition demanding it be

renamed. Calhoun the former vice president was a staunch supporter of slavery

in the years leading up to the Civil War and Clemson's campus was built on his

plantation. People asked questions like when do we stop taking the names off 

the buildings at universities and my response to that of course is when there 

aren't any better name for slave holders. Others stepping up and calling for 

change at Texas University, as well. A group of nearly 40 student athletes have

written a letter calling for sweeping changes including renaming several 

buildings on campus, and replacing the school song, The Eyes of Texas.

A song that was once performed by white performers singing in blackface. 

At Liberty University in Virginia basketball star aja Todd says ongoing racial 

insensitive have led her to transfer. It simply does not align with my moral 

compass or personal conviction. 

Her announcement coming after the president of the Christian University Jerry

Falwell in a sense deleted tweet called out Virginia's governor to make a political

point. And, this is a sometimes uncomfortable conversation that so many people

are having across the country right now. Uncomfortable but as you said very,

very important. Well hey there GMA fans, Robin Roberts here. Thanks for checking
