Before Saturday’s Clemson Community Peaceful Demonstration, most people did not know much about Clemson running back Darien Rencher. After the event, the college football world knows Rencher for his bold stance and powerful words against racial injustice.
The former walk-on helped organize the Clemson Community Peaceful Demonstration with Clemson teammates Mike Jones Jr., Trevor Lawrence and Cornell Powell, while serving as the mouthpiece for the organizers.
The four men met with Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney, President Jim Clements and the Clemson Police Department ahead of the event to fight toward common sense solutions for minorities in the city of Clemson and on campus.
