Howard Students are doing a #BlackburnTakeover! We are staying here ALL NIGHT until the demand for BASIC HUMAN DECENCY are met. There are rats and roaches in the cafe, students without housing and mold in the limited housing that is available. This is unacceptable. #FightBack

Howard Administration is threatening students with expulsion for advocating for their basic rights to humanity. These students pay 48k per year to be at this university. #HowardUniversity instead of punishing students for asking for better, just do BETTER!

HOWARD UNIVERSITY WOULD RATHER EXPELL STUDENTS THAN MEET THEIR SIMPLE DEMANDS! SHAME!!

If true, this can not stand & must be reversed. If any #HowardUniversity students are expelled for protesting that is a threat to ALL student rights at ALL colleges. It must be fought in mass & that student must be fully supported #BlackburnTakeover #HU twitter.com/raiinaax3/stat…

If you aren’t spending the money on fixing this public health crisis on your campus, then where’s the money #HowardUniversity 🤔

More mold photos a student at @HowardU sent me this morning of her dorm in the Quad. @fox5dc #BlackburnTakeover
I reached out to @VP office to see if she has any comment on her alma mater’s living conditions. I also reached out to HU for a finance report but haven’t heard back
