CASPER, Wyo. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is assisting with the investigation of a racist disruption that occurred during Feb. 15 Black History Month discussion conducted by the University of Wyoming’s Black Studies Center.
UW Chief Diversity Officer Emily Monago described the events as a “racist attack” in a Monday, Feb. 22 message to the UW community. She also said the attack may be connected to other similar attacks seen throughout the country.
“The words and images were so disturbing, hateful, violent and offensive that they shocked and outraged our community,” Monago said. “Following the university’s administration’s statement condemning the detestable disruption and calling for a law enforcement investigation to identify the perpetrators and hold them accountable Gov. Mark Gordon also issued a statement of condemnation on behalf of the entire state.”
