Rename Old Chapel (UMass) after Edwin D. Driver

Edwin D. Driver was the first African American on the faculty of UMass Amherst in 1948. His office was in the basement of Old Chapel and he couldn't get an apartment in Amherst to live because of his race. He was not universally welcomed and endured discrimination, racial injustice, humiliation and hurt. We want to acknowledge him by renaming Old Chapel, or another building on campus, after him.
