Racist Threats Target HBCU Students | JQJO

Coordinated racist death threats targeting Black students forced at least seven Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) into emergency lockdowns. Threats, including a manifesto with graphic violence, were reported at NYU and multiple HBCUs, prompting campus closures and heightened security. The FBI is investigating, stating while aware of hoax threats, they take them seriously. Though lockdowns have been lifted at most institutions, enhanced security and class cancellations remain in place as investigations continue. Previous similar incidents have occurred, highlighting a pattern of targeted harassment.
