The University of Wyoming's Black Studies Center and UW President Ed Seidel held a town hall meeting on February 24 to address the recent racist Zoom-bombing attack that occurred during a live virtual panel on February 15.
The panel was organized as part of UW's Black History Month programming, and the topic was a discussion on the death of Tulsa's Black Wall Street. About 30 minutes into the discussion, unknown participants began voicing racial slurs, including the n-word, from behind blank screens. A graphic video depicting a violent assault was also broadcast. This particular kind of cyber hacking is known as "Zoom bombing."
