This is deeply disturbing.
So far this month — as our nation celebrates Black History Month — more than seventeen Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have been targeted by a series of bomb threats.
These threats are dangerous and disruptive, but these institutions, their students, faculty, staff, and the pursuit of Black genius will not be derailed.
We all must denounce these attacks on our Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Silence means being complicit in anti-Blackness, hate, violence, and terrorism.
I do not believe it is a coincidence that these attacks on HBCUs took place in the beginning of Black History Month. But we will not be deterred — this February, and every day, we are continuing to make space for our heritage, our community, and to make progress in the fight for equity and justice.
Together we will continue to fight for Black justice, opportunity, and liberation.
In solidarity,
Ayanna Pressley
