Several historically Black colleges and universities canceled classes and ordered students to shelter in place Thursday after receiving threats in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder. The affected schools are Alabama State University, Southern University in Louisiana, Clark Atlanta University and Spelman College in Georgia, Virginia State University and Hampton University in Virginia and Bethune-Cookman University in Florida. In a statement, the Congressional Black Caucus called the threats “a chilling reminder of the relentless racism and extremism that continues to target and terrorize Black communities in this country.”
