The FBI is helping American University track down whoever hung bananas from nooses in multiple locations on campus.
Scrawled on the bananas was “AKA,” the acronym for the historically black sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha, NBC Washington reports.
Incensed students are planning another day of demonstrations to urge the administration to find the culprit.
The FBI’s Civil Rights division is lending a hand because a racially motivated hate crime appears to have been committed.
The bananas were found on the same day that an AKA member became the university’s first black student government president.
Campus police distributed what they believe is the suspect walking alone on an empty campus between 3:45 a.m, and 4:10 a.m. Tuesday, when at least three bananas were hung in nooses on campus.
Black students threatened to withdrawal from school.
“If our existence isn’t valued on this campus, then we don’t need to be here,” student Ma’at Sargeant said Tuesday.
