As Blavity previously reported, at least 13 HBCUs received bomb threats at the start of Black History Month. It's also worth acknowledging that the FBI has revealed that at least 57 HBCUs, places of worship, and faith-based institutions received malicious threats between Jan. 4 and Feb. 16.

Peter Hans, President of the University of North Carolina System, acknowledged these threats at yesterday's Board of Governors, referring to them as "anonymous threats of violence meant to intimidate and divide us."
