WANTED: Reparations Law Attorney 👨🏾💼🧑🏽💼 to file suit against CLEMSON UNIVERSITY!
In September 2020, during a time of uncertainty in American history, where citizens all over the nation were fighting very passionate battles for the removals of racist and controversial monuments and statues, I personally presented an effective form of resolve to the Clemson City Council in Clemson, South Carolina.
During this troubling time, I drafted and presented a proposal to the Clemson City Council that would name an unnamed bridge over highway 123, after a formerly enslaved woman.
A woman that Clemson University had previously written countless stories, thoroughly detailing the extended enslavement and the resulted atrocities that were faced by Nancy Washington Legree, while she was enslaved at Clemson’s Fort Hill Plantation.
Pictured below, (born Nancy Calhoun) Nancy Washington Legree, was written about and featured on the cover of a Clemson University Publication ⬇️
In October 2020, less than a month after receiving my recommendation to name the bridge, the Clemson City Council would unanimously vote in favor of naming the unnamed bridge in honor of Nancy Washington Legree.
Despite the collective agreement reached by the Clemson City Government, the official naming of the bridge was never acted upon and the bridge still currently remains unnamed. However, the scripted language within The Legree Resolution (that was composed by the Clemson City Council) was very compelling, as it exposed a concealed truth regarding the cruelties that were experienced by my grandmother, Nancy Washington Legree, while being enslaved at Clemson University.
The shocking revelations within The Legree Resolution revealed a horrific admission of the inhumane obstructions that were faced by my grandmother, while she and other members of my family continued to be held enslaved at Clemson University for over 50 years past the date of The Emancipation Proclamation. The writings of The Legree Resolution are significant, as they also state that my grandmother Nancy Washington Legree, was one of the very first to be enslaved at John C. Calhoun’s Fort Hill Plantation.
In addition to being the first enslaved, my grandmother was also one of the oldest survivors, as she amazingly lived to be 105 years old.
Featured below, is the official declaration of the The Legree Resolution, that was authored by, The Clemson City Council.
⬇️ PLEASE READ the wording ⬇️
Never before in the 247 year history of America, has a city government affirmed the personal atrocities as a result of slavery against a single individual, along with the location of the injustices and a perpetrator being identified in the manuscript.
I remind all those with special interest, that my grandmother Nancy Washington Legree owned her home, which was the only house that was located on the grounds of what it is now, Woodland Cemetery (located on the Clemson University campus).
My grandmother and others in my family would later be unjustly forced to move from their homelands, due to the expansion of Clemson University.
No one from Clemson University has ever came forward to make amends for the terrible wrongs that were done against the family of Nancy Washington Legree. Clemson University has never attempted to understand how the continuous enslavement of a family for half a century past the emancipation has devastating effects and how those damages causes the victims to be at a disadvantage for many generations to come.
In fact, Clemson University has done the opposite by continuing to oppress the same family by attempting to erase the history of my family by ignoring the fact that my Grandmother Nancy Washington Legree was indeed the daughter of the 7th Vice President of the United States of America, John C. Calhoun. My grandmother never got a chance to challenge the will of her father (John C. Calhoun) after his death in 1850. Nancy never had the opportunity to be involved or take part in the process of the discussions on the sale of Fort Hill Plantation and the many acres of land that initially accompanied it.
My grandmother’s mom, a captured Native American Black Cherokee Indian, Martha Liza Lee, was repeatedly raped by the former Vice President John C. Calhoun, and this is how my grandmother Nancy Washington Legree was conceived. Clemson University has tried to erase the horrific history of what happened to my grandmother and how it emotionally devastated my family for decades.

This is the true history that Clemson University is currently using Black educators, Black citizens, and all those with private interests to hide the truth. In hopes of erasing and excluding the one family that stands in the way of their fabricated narrative of slavery on the same ground in which the university now stands.
Clemson University has used their own professors along Black leaders in the community by using cunning and deceive measures to raise millions of dollars off of the stories of my family, yet they have not given back anything of meaningful value that would repair and restore the lives of the descendants of the formerly enslaved.
In recent days, Clemson University has announced that they would work with other locals to build a Black Heritage trail after almost 3 years of searching and financing missions to find someone who could present an idea that was greater than my proposal to name the bridge. They spent countless funds seeking out individuals that had ideas to honor and tell the “good” stories of the enslaved at Clemson and surrounding communities. Clemson has also spent millions to erase the previously written history of my grandmother Nancy Washington Legree, because there is no greater or positive story that helps Clemson University to continue making money off the stories of the enslaved. Although a Black Heritage trail does educate, however, it lacks the power to instantly change the lives of individuals who have generationally struggled to recover from the forced free labor that was provided by their ancestors for well over a century. I’ve found that the idea of constructing Black Heritage trails are in some regards outdated and though they provide recognition, however, they fail to provide restitution to for the costly effects of slavery.
In final, Clemson University has not attempted to make amends for the intentional atrocities and human rights violations experienced by the family of Nancy Washington Legree, and the only way to seek justice is through the court system. As I personally believe that no other case in American history has been more favorable for receiving Reparations.
