Several Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), including Alabama State, Virginia State, Hampton, Southern, and Clark Atlanta Universities, along with Spelman College, are on lockdown following potential threats. Bethune-Cookman University is also locked down. While no injuries have been reported and the nature of the threats remains unclear, schools have canceled classes and increased security. Rev. Al Sharpton condemned the threats and recent violence, including the shooting at Utah Valley University. Authorities are investigating the credibility of the threats, which follow a history of similar incidents against HBCUs.
