I was very disheartened to see that my university has a building named after this man. This building is named after a white supremacist. With everything going on right now I think it is very important that Winthrop stand and show support to its students of the black community. It is a predominately white school however 30% of the student body is African American and to continue to have a building named after a white supremacist who fought to suppress the rights of black people at a university where many black students come to learn is hurtful to students in the black community and especially at Winthrop. If you are not proud to advertise ALL that this man has done and fought for besides being a SC governor then their shouldn’t be a building named after this man the African American students have to go in every day for classes. A change is needed. #blacklivesmattertome
