Clemson's Death Valley.
The graves are thought to be those of enslaved people who worked from about 1830 to 1865

Makes their tradition of putting up a tombstone after each big win even weirder

What a time for this to get discovered. Not coincidental at all.

Looks like we have to cancel the season now

Absolutely disgusting

So that's the real reason why they call it Death Valley.

Don’t throw stones. No one is really sure what’s under the Haymarket lot either.

Eh. It looks like its been an ongoing thing for over a decade at least.

The school installed protective fencing around a roughly one-acre section to the south in 2002 and identified it as the “Site of Unknown Burials.” Twenty-five of the gravesites recently revealed by radar are located within and around this fenced area.
Clemson erected historic markers at Woodland Cemetery in 2016 designating the area as the site of the Fort Hill Slave and Convict Cemetery and acknowledging the roles played by enslaved and convicted individuals buried here.
I mean, in England they find lost Kings under random parking lots. It happens.

For people who don't know the area, Clemson's football stadium is only a couple hundred yards from the Fort Hill Plantation, which was the home of John C. Calhoun. Searching for the gravesites of former slaves is one of the main focuses of living history advocates and anthropologists. These kinds of digs are common at plantations all around South Carolina.

God forbid they bury the dead. How racist of them.

Yeah, if you don't think there are slaves buried near or on campus at a university on the banks of the Mississippi River you're fooling yourself.
But LSU is BLM now, so it's all good.

So what are you saying baw?

Well, that settles it. Clemson is the real Death Valley.

I 100% believe there is a mass grave. I’m just skeptical that as one poster mentioned above, they’ve known about this for a decade. Why make it a big deal now?
