"I felt we could make a change in our own community." And they did. Darien Rencher, Cornell Powell, Trevor Lawrence and Mike Jones Jr. demonstrated what leaders can do. A feeling became an idea became history.
More than 3,000 people came together on Bowman Field on Saturday at the Clemson Community Peaceful Demonstration, coordinated by football student-athletes Darien Rencher, Cornell Powell, Trevor Lawrence and Mike Jones Jr.
The demonstration included a 8:46 moment of silence to honor the memory of George Floyd, remarks from student-athletes and coaches, a 2-mile march along the frontside of campus and a singing of “Amazing Grace.”
