Wiping Calhoun's Name from Honors College
The University of Clemson's Board of Trustees has voted to remove John C. Calhoun's name from the Honors College, citing his racist pro-slavery beliefs.
Hopkins was a big part of the campaign to get Clemson to change the name -- with the NFL superstar claiming it made him uncomfortable during his time as a Clemson student considering Calhoun's well-documented racist history.
FYI, Calhoun was the Vice President of the United States from 1825 to 1832 and the University sits on land he once owned -- but he was also super racist and was a staunch proponent of slavery.
