RALEIGH, N.C. — A bus driving students from a historically Black college to an economic conference was likely targeted when it was pulled over and searched, the university's president said.
Eighteen students of Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina, and two staff advisers were on their way to the Center for Financial Advancement Conference in Atlanta on Oct. 5 when the bus was pulled over for a minor traffic violation in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, Shaw University President Dr. Paulette Dillard told ABC News Raleigh-Durham station WTVD.
Dillard said she was"outraged" over the encounter, adding that the incident was reminiscent of the 1950s and 1960s, when segregation was still practiced widely in the South. Students at the university said the experience will likely leave lasting consequences for those who were involved and their future interactions with law enforcement.
