At least three universities in New Jersey have reported racist attacks during virtual Black History Month events, CNN reports. Rutgers University, Rider University and the New Jersey Institute of Technology were targeted by “Zoom bombers” who interrupted presentations with racist remarks and imagery.
“The most recent Zoom-bombing attack occurred during the Black History Month programs hosted by the Paul Robeson Cultural Center and the Center for Social Justice Education & LGBTQ Communities,” Rutgers University said in a statement to CNN.

Christopher J. Molloy declined to provide details on the incident, saying the university doesn’t want to “give bigoted individuals a platform by providing details on the incident” but acknowledges “the harm done to Black and LGBTQ members” of the community to “affirm their pain.”
