Representative Tracie Davis Condemns Bomb Threats at More than a Dozen HBCUs

Posted on February 1, 2022

Today, a growing number of historically black colleges and universities have had to lockdown or postpone classes due to bomb threats on the first day of Black History Month.

“These threats of violence to historically black colleges and universities throughout the country, on the first day of Black History Month, tell me everything I need to know about the state of America. Even my alma mater, Edward Waters University, had to suspend all operations immediately. This is shameful. Between the HBCU bomb threats and the recent display of anti-Semitic hatred, what’s happening in Florida is troubling. Sadly, a lot of the policy priorities we’re seeing from Republicans this session will only add fuel to the fire. When they want to ban books and words, how can students learn and teachers teach without an honest and safe environment? For people that look like me, this isn’t a game. We are the ones hurt by another person’s mild discomfort or someone’s political posturing. These endless, politically motivated attacks need to stop and our leaders need to start putting the people first,” said Representative Tracie Davis (D- Jacksonville).
