Someone had posted “White Only” and “Black Only” signs near several bathrooms and water fountains in Clemens Hall.
“It brought up feelings of the past of a past that our generation has never seen which I think is why it was so shocking for us to see,” Micah Oliver, president for the Black Student Union, tells ABC 27.
More than 100 students turned out to a Black Student Union meeting to discuss the signs.
“There was fear expressed, anger, disappointment – all of that,” according to Oliver.
And then, Ashley Powell, a black graduate student, stood up in the meeting to admit she had hung the signs, claiming it was part of an “art project,” The Buffalo News reports.
“I apologize if you were hurt, but I do not apologize for what I did. "

Good for her! Take responsibility for your actions! Express yourself in spite of politically incorrect opinions! We need more of that - and we need more tolerance of it!
If obama had a son,
Did you actually read what her project is about?
Good thing it wasn't a white student or all hell would have broke loose, riots, looting, Al Sharpton, demonstrations, calls of racism and media wanting to run this story for the next six weeks.
Interesting. I'd say her project was a success. It baffles me that Jim Crow laws were tolerated for so long.
Democrats put Jim Crow laws in place.
So does that mean the "Old Stars and Bars" could be an " art project"?
Another rabble-rouser in the making....
Hands up, dont post.
