At least 14 historically Black colleges and universities reported bomb threats Tuesday — the first day of Black History Month — forcing them to lock down or cancel classes. At least half a dozen schools, including Howard University, also received threats on Monday and in previous weeks. No explosive devices were found on the affected campuses. Professor and award-winning author Ibram X. Kendi tweeted, “I am a product of a HBCU, where I learned how to think and write and be me. … Our HBCU family is resilient. But we shouldn’t have to be.”
