HBCUs are pillars of excellence, resilience, and
progress. They have nurtured leaders, broken down
barriers, and carried forward the torch of justice and
equality in America. Any threat against them is a
threat against us all.
I am calling on the full weight of the federal
government — including the Department of Justice,
the Department of Homeland Security, and the FBI
— to utilize every available resource to identify,
apprehend, and prosecute those responsible. These
attacks cannot be tolerated, minimized, or ignored.
They must be met with swift and decisive action.
Let us be clear: those who seek to terrorize our
students and undermine the safe havens of learning
they cherish will fail. Our communities are strong.
Our institutions are resilient. And our resolve is
unshakable.
We will continue to stand united in defense of
HBCUs and in defense of the values of education,
opportunity, and equality that they embody.
