HBCUs remain unshaken after recent bomb threats
Domestic terrorists who recently threatened to bomb nearly 20 historically Black colleges and universities utterly failed if their goal was to shake student commitment to their schools and to each other, institutional leaders said on February 8.
“They are disappointed. They are traumatized. But they are resilient, and they are resolved to continue to move forward,” said Felecia M. Nave, president of Alcorn State University, one of four Mississippi HBCUs to receive bomb threats on February 1.
Nave’s comments, and those of three other HBCU leaders, came during America’s HBCUs under the Threat of Attack, a virtual roundtable hosted by the Southern Poverty Law Center to discuss the impact and meaning of bomb threats.
