Richard Balhs, Director of the University's Student Board, released a note demanding the release of the Clemson Five. The protest was closely affiliated with the See the Stripes campaign, which advocated for racial equality on campus, an undoing of the university's controversial historical narrative, and the renaming of several buildings on campus, including the controversial Tillman Hall, named after white supremacist Democratic governor Benjamin Tillman.
