Clinton Junior College (Rock Hill, S.C.)

Clinton Junior College was founded in 1894 as Clinton Institute by the Rev. Nero A. Crockett and the Rev. W.M. Robinson under the auspices of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church; incorporated in 1909 as Clinton Normal and Industrial College, the institution is named in honor of Bishop Isom Caleb Clinton, presiding A.M.E. Zion bishop in S.C. at the time; the land on which the school is built was given by Captains L.M. Davis and W.L. Roddey, two white men.
