A building that honors Strom Thurmond, the late segregationist U.S. senator, is among those that advocates would like to rename.
A commission at the University of South Carolina recommended on Friday that the names of 11 people who were slaveowners, fought for the Confederacy, or held racist beliefs be removed from campus buildings, including that of the late U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond, who supported segregation for much of his political career.
To many on the flagship campus, in Columbia, it felt like a victory at first. But there’s no political path forward to actually removing Thurmond’s name or any others, at least for now.
