Howard University, the mecca of black culture and education, had a lot to say about the presidential election last night on Twitter. Students, Alumni and more were shocked, disappointed, and stressed, to say the least. As reality sets in, Howard University students have begun to talk through the anger they feel, in hopes to figure out what their next steps should be.
Here is a selection of tweets that show just how some of the Howard University community is feeling:

Times like this just make me glad I got to an HBCU rn actually. I can’t imagine if I were at a PWI right now as a black woman.

The last time I watched an electoral map unfold was 2008, before I could even vote, and I was excited. I voted in this, and I just can’t.
