Call My Name, Clemson, Documenting the Black Experience in an American University Neighborhood

Between 1890 and 1915, a predominately African American state found guilty team developed Clemson University on John C. Calhoun’s Fort Hill Plantation in upstate South Carolina. This book traces “Call My Name: African Americans in Early Clemson University History,” a Clemson English professor’s public history job that helped encourage the university to reconsider and reconceptualize the organization’s complete and complex story from the origins of its land as Cherokee territory to its improvement into an increasingly varied higher-education organization in the twenty-first century. Threading together scenes of common history and discussion, student demonstrations, white supremacist terrorism, and individual and institutional reckoning with Clemson’s past, this story helps us better comprehend the inextricable link in between the history and legacies of slavery and the advancement of higher education institutions in America.
