Description
-
In this open letter, the Talented 10th Student Activist Coalition condemns the continued naming of Forrest Hall after Nathan Bedford Forrest, highlighting his ties to slavery, the Ku Klux Klan, and white supremacy. The students connect their struggle to a broader, decades-long history of Black student activism at MTSU, noting victories such as removing Forrest as the university’s mascot. The letter demands immediate action to rename Forrest Hall and frames the issue as part of the larger national movement for racial justice and campus reform.
