Former FBI Director James Comey’s keynote speech at Howard University was interrupted by protesters singing “We Shall Not Be Moved.”
Comey was set to speak at Howard’s 2017-18 convocation as the school’s endowed chair of public policy, but he didn’t receive a warm welcome from some students at the historically black college.
A group of students in the back of the auditorium stood up during Comey’s speech with their fists raised to indicate “black power.” The group sang the old spiritual song, “We Shall Not Be Moved” and broke out into chants about being black.
“I said I love being black!” one protester yelled, cuing the other protesters to repeat it back. “I love the color of my skin!”

They are protesting Comey and his illegal, immoral and unethical actions. Which part don't you understand?
They may be 8:41, but the sad fact is they don't know it until now. You just told them. Understand?
Howard is a historically and primarily black student university in DC. Considered a big step up from UMES, DSU, etc.
But they hired fired FBI manipulator Comey as an endowed professor (means instant tenure plus the perqs) of public policy. What a hoot!
He was giving a speech at freshman convocation when he got a taste of the quality of the student body. Welcome aboard, diversity new hire!
