The site BlackWithNoChaser reports that Jackson's Tougaloo College received unspecified threats related to commencement address by Texas U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett on May 4

The story, here, quotes Tougaloo President Donzell Lee saying college officials notified law enforcement about the threatening calls.

U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Tougaloo alumnus and chair of the House’s Jan. 6 Committee, bestowed Crockett with an honorary degree from the HBCU.

Crockett told the graduating students, “To think about the fact that people have to be fearful of having a sitting member of Congress to come and address their graduates tells us that we still got a lot of work to do. The reality is that this harkens back to a man named Martin. They decided that he wanted to go out and educate and invigorate during the Civil Rights Movement, and it was here at Tougaloo that he could come and speak. In fact, it was the only institution in Mississippi that he could come and speak.”
