Clemson’s linebacker speaks up, plays big role in Saturday’s Peaceful Demonstration

Mikes Jones, Jr., knew in his heart it was time for him to do something. It was time for him to speak up. So, Clemson’s linebacker did.

With help of his teammates, such as wide receiver Cornell Powell, reserve running back Darien Rencher and quarterback Trevor Lawrence, Jones began the organization of a Clemson Community Peaceful Demonstration that will be held Saturday from 6-8 p.m., at Bowman Field at Clemson University.

“I felt like my heart was really reaching for me to do something,” Jones said Thursday during a Zoom conference call with the media.
