Howard University was among the first to issue a shelter-in-place order early Tuesday — just a day after the school and several other historically Black colleges and universities received similar threats.
February 1, 2022, 9:47 PMMore than a dozen historically Black colleges and universities received bomb threats on Tuesday, the first day of Black History Month.
Like Howard, Kentucky State, Jackson State, the University of the District of Columbia, Tougaloo College and Coppin State issued "all-clear" alerts after finding the threats to be unsubstantiated soon after reporting the threats. "My message to you this morning is to stay strong, remain resilient, and continue to prepare yourselves to grow the future and lead the world because our nation and world desperately need more leaders steeped in the values we teach here at Morgan," he said. "Those values are Leadership, Integrity, Innovation, Diversity, Excellence and Respect. Hate is not one of them!"
“As always, we would like to remind members of the public that if they observe anything suspicious to report it to law enforcement immediately," it added.
