Washington, DC — Today, Congresswoman Lucy McBath released this statement following reports of bomb threats made at more than a dozen HBCU institutions: 

“As we celebrate the first day of Black History Month, there are again those with hate in their heart who seek to sow hatred and division. Students across the country are at these HBCUs to work hard and create opportunities for themselves. As a proud HBCU graduate, my thoughts are with all those dealing with these threats of violence. No student should ever have to live or learn in fear.”
