Morphine Prince 109,653 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 COLUMBIA, S.C. — Someone left black nylon stockings filled with dirt hanging from tree branches outside a South Carolina university hall named for an avowed racist. The 18 stockings, shaped to abstractly look like a human head and body, were found Sunday morning outside Tillman Hall, with a sign taped over a plaque reading “Tillman’s Legacy,” according to a police report from Winthrop University in Rock Hill. Tillman was a South Carolina governor and a U.S. senator. He helped lead a mob that killed four blacks in July 1876 as racist whites pushed to regain control of state government during Reconstruction. He said blacks were cannibals, barbarians and savages in Africa and it was foolish to think they would be any different in the United States.
