Photos of Harvard Law Black Instructors Defaced; Black Strips of Tape on Photos Called Hate Crime

As racial tensions are now sweeping many U.S. universities, portraits of several black professors were found vandalized at Harvard Law School yesterday -- a day after a campus rally for black students -- the Telegraph (British) website reports today (November 20, 2015).

Black strips of tape were placed diagonally over at least five photo portraits, Harvard officials said.

All of the portraits that were targeted depict black professors.

Martha Minow -- the law school's dean -- said the vandalism was being treated as a hate crime. Harvard police are investigating.
