At least 13 HBCUs closed campus or cancelled classes today due to bomb threats on the first day of Black History Month.
"As a former law enforcement officer I'll keep working to make sure our institutions and law enforcement have the resources they need to keep all of our students and communities safe," Demings said."The terror [the threats have] caused raises serious questions about the existence of hate-based violence across our nation and in our communities," Hoyer added.
"I’m hopeful that these bomb threats to our National Treasure, and to many of our other sister HBCU institutions, will be aggressively investigated by the FBI," Wilson said.
