Thousands of Gamecocks have called for the renaming of buildings like Strom, Sims, Hampton, and more.

The buck stops at @HarrisPastides and as of now, he has failed us.

Students and alumni are #ReadyToRename, and @UofSC leadership won’t commit.

Our fight is not over 🔥

Okay @HarrisPastides!! Time to submit the Commission’s report to the Board of Trustees and start pushing for the changes we are committed to seeing on our campus. 💪🏽

[Take Tillman Down @TakeTillmanDown]

@RepealForSC Tillman Rally this Saturday, 11am -2pm at the Statehouse. All are welcome!

[Repeal the Heritage Act @RepealForSC]

Shoutout to the communities across SC that kept the pressure up and pushed for change despite the resistance they faced.

While this is not a full repeal, this is a HUGE step towards progress in our state.

Go celebrate, then let’s get back to work. 💪🏽

@HistoryGuy111 @washingtonpost @madebyhistory @car1ygoodman @DiaDamico What a great piece, thank you for continuing this fight! 🔥

[Repeal the Heritage Act @RepealForSC]

@HistoryGuy111 Exactly. The Heritage Act is much more effective as a vague excuse to protect administrators from racist donors than as an actual enforceable piece of legislation. Wonder why 🧐

[Issy Rushton @RushtonIssy]

Read: the BoT is too scared to rename Strom Thurmond so they throw out the entire list of building renaming recommendations. What a deeply disturbing decision @uofsc.

[Move Silent Sam @Move_Silent_Sam]

"The movement to rename racist University of South Carolina buildings stops at President Harris Pastides’ doorstep"

The interim @UofSC president "will not be recommending the board of trustees approve the name changes."

USC is promoting white supremacy.

If @HarrisPastides & the Board of Trustees of @UofSC won’t rename buildings named after racists, we need to rename the building named after him. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@LucasDaprile @HarrisPastides We will adjust this! Thanks Lucas!

“This is a public accounting of who we have been and who we hope to be,” one professor said. https://t.co/DpbNL8R7r4

[The State Newspaper @thestate]

Black students will attend classes and events in buildings honoring men identified as secessionists, segregationists, slave owners and/or supporters of slavery — imagine that, The State’s Editorial Board writes. https://t.co/US4DJEZF8P

[Move Silent Sam @Move_Silent_Sam]

@thestate Thanks for this editorial.

It is unacceptable that the Republican-led South Carolina legislature is refusing to allow USC, Clemson, and Winthrop University to rename their buildings that honor racists.

Can The State help raise hell about this? Like, really raise hell?

[Repeal the Heritage Act @RepealForSC]

The @UofSC community is #ReadyToRename buildings on campus that honor Confederates and segregationists.

It is now up to @HarrisPastides + USC admin to give the Commission’s report to the Board of Trustees to make the official commitment.

Gamecocks, our fight has just begun.

[UNC Anti-Racist Alerts @UNC_Alerts]

What happened yesterday when racists desecrated the Unsung Founders monument makes it clear that UNC must act now to address the demands issued by Black Student Movement to improve safety of Black students, faculty and staff.

[Sally Hudson @SallyLHudson]

Good morning.

[Repeal the Heritage Act @RepealForSC]

While VA + other states continue to reckon with Confederate statues on their public grounds, South Carolina drags its feet.

It’s time to…

➡️Repeal the Heritage Act.

➡️Rename buildings named for Confederates and segregationists.

➡️Reclaim these spaces and create a better SC.

[Repeal the Heritage Act @RepealForSC]

Let 👏 communities 👏 control 👏 their 👏 spaces 👏
