The Department of Philosophy and Religion condemns the horrific killing of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department and recognizes this and other recent killings as a result of the long-standing racism that has plagued our country and many of its police departments. We denounce these actions in the strongest terms, believing we have a duty to shine a light on unjust and immoral actions - especially when too many others still remain silent. We call on the members of the Clemson family to join together and condemn bigotry and violence in all its many forms.
