And in Massachusetts, Smith College has apologized to a black student who was racially profiled on campus. The student, Oumou Kanoute, was eating her lunch in a common room on Tuesday when a campus employee called police, reporting someone who “seemed out of place.” After an officer arrived on the scene and confronted her, Kanoute began recording the episode, later posting it on Facebook with a statement that read in part, “All I did was be black.” This is Oumou Kanoute, speaking with CBS Boston.

Oumou Kanoute: “It just still upsets me to just talk about it, because I don’t even feel safe on my own campus. And I’m away from home. I’m the first in my family to go to college. I’m doing this not only for me, but for my family, for my ancestors.”

In a statement, Smith President Kathleen McCartney offered Kanoute an apology, adding, “This painful incident reminds us of the ongoing legacy of racism and bias in which people of color are targeted while simply going about the business of their daily lives.” Kanoute has demanded that Smith release the name of the staffer who called police on her, but the college has so far refused.
