Dr. Nave to Participate in SPLC鈥檚 HBCUs Under the Threat of Attack Panel Discussion

Release courtesy of the Southern Poverty Law Center

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) cordially invites you to join us for a virtual roundtable discussion on Tuesday, Feb. 8 to discuss developments and forward-looking plans, following the recent bomb threats to nearly 20 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) throughout the U.S.

The bomb threats made to HBCUs on Jan. 31 and Feb 1., was an abhorrent act of hate that sought to impede the learning and physical well-being of students of color. HBCUs are among our nation鈥檚 most trusted Institutions of higher education 鈥� a safe space where many of these students choose to not only advance their education, but also to embrace and enjoy their shared experiences and rich culture.

The SPLC, through both our and our program areas are committed to identifying, monitoring and combatting hate and extremism in all of its forms. What happened to these HBCUs is cause for alarm AND action. These students are our nation鈥檚 future and we must make every effort to ensure their safety and protection. We look forward to you joining us for this very important discussion
