Students attempt C.C. Little rename
with sign recognizing Black alum
Radfun claims building name change to honor first Black female student at ‘U’
Students
attempted
to
rename the C.C. Little Science
Building
Sunday
night
by
covering the sign with a new
sign that read “Mary Henrietta
Graham,” the first Black woman
to attend and graduate from the
University of Michigan. The
University has since removed
the sign.
The
renaming
attempt
followed
an
LSA
Student
Government
panel
that
discussed removing the name
of former University president,
C.C. Little, who worked in
eugenics
primarily
against
women of color. Protesters
took to the panel and voiced
their frustration over the lack
of University buildings named
after women of color and the
honoring of a man who aided
eugenics.
The
University
group
Radfun,
which
describes
itself as “radical anticapitalist
deviants & forum of united
nonconformists” posted a photo
of the sign on Facebook with the
caption “Our buildings should
be named by us, and never
named after the Oppressor!”
In
an
email
statement,
Radfun
called
for
campus
community members to start
referring to it as the Mary
Henrietta
Graham
Science
Building.
“The
decision
for
this
name was based on research
and
support
provided
by
several groups at UM that are
implicated in the fight for social
justice,” Radfun wrote. “We
can speak to why our collective
decided to support the name of
MHG, which was because there
has been a massive outcry
against the naming of the CC
Little building. Renaming it
ourselves and after a woman
of color makes the most
sense because reclaims the
right of marginalized to
UM.”
The
University
hasn’t
commented officially on the
sign or its removal.
“We don’t know why the
sign was removed, but it
honestly make (sic) sense
that they did because they
only care about student
dissent if it works for the
brand
they’re
trying
to
protect,” Radfun stated.
The
petition
circling
to
rename the building has just
came to over 1,000 signatures.

MOMS M ARCH
The University of Michigan’s chapter
of College Republicans painted the
Rock Sunday night to send a message of
solidarity to the minority groups that have
been targeted by recent hate crimes on
campus.
Two weeks ago, three Black students in
West Quad Residence Hall had their door
name tags vandalized with racial slurs.
That same weekend, other racist graffiti
were discovered on a downtown mural,
and posters reading “Free Dylann Roof”
were found throughout campus. In the
weeks before that, anti-Latino sentiments
were found painted on the Rock, and a
local skate park was vandalized with racist
and anti-Semitic graffiti.
Last week, several protests occurred
throughout campus as a call to action
and to draw attention to these events.
Protesters blocked the C.C. Little bus
station, flooded the room where a panel
spoke about changing the name of the C.C.
Little Science Building and sat with School
of Public Health master’s candidate Dana
Greene as he kneeled on the Diag for nearly
24 hours.
University President Mark Schlissel
wrote in a statement that he supports
Greene’s right to kneel.
“I share with many the belief that
our nation does not always live up to its
highest ideals, including the equal rights
we hold dear,” Schlissel wrote. “To me, the
American Flag represents many things,
including those very rights. I support
(Greene’s) right to engage in peaceful
protest.”
Like many other organizations on
campus, the club paints the Rock every
year, according to LSA junior Amanda
Delekta, vice president of College
Republicans. However, the group decided
to be a little more purposeful with its
paintbrushes this year, in light of recent
campus incidents.
“This year with the rhetoric on campus
and some of the hateful incidents that have
occurred, we wanted to create a really
clear message of what our group stands for
and disassociate from some of the other
groups that tend to get lumped in with us,”
Delekta said.
