In a nice twist of fate, two residential halls at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville are being named after Black civil rights activists, not because the buildings were already named after racists but simply because the two activists deserve the honor.
According to CNN, the two buildings will be named after Rita Sanders Geier and Theotis Robinson. Robinson was the first Black student to attend the undergraduate school, and Geier is known for filing and winning a lawsuit that would help make the state’s higher education system more equitable.
