Black students at schools like Nashville HBCU Fisk are getting racist texts telling them to report to vans to be transported to plantations to pick cotton.

The SMS reads: “You’ve been selected to be a house slave at Abingdon Plantation. Come to this address: 300 7th St SW, Washington, DC, 20024.”

The messages “suggest threats of violence and intimidation, and are deeply unsettling,” a campus-wide alert issued late Wednesday said. READ MORE HERE

The alert said that university officials believe the messages are “likely the work of an automated bot or malicious actors with no real intentions or credibility.”

Fisk is a historically Black campus located near downtown Nashville.

Maya Brown, executive director of Fisk’s Office of Marketing and Communications, described the messages as similar to those multiple news outlets have reported are circulating at campuses across the country: racist messages that appear to target Black students that tell them to report to vans or other transportation that will deliver them to plantations to pick cotton.
