Two White students were captured on a doorbell‑camera video making monkey gestures and noises outside an apartment that houses a group of Black students at the University of Mississippi, sparking condemnation from members of the campus community.
The short clip, which has been shared on social media, shows the two individuals mimicking primate sounds and motions while standing on the apartment’s doorstep. The video’s location is identified as a residence hall on the Ole Miss campus where Black students live together.
Following the video's circulation, several students, including members of the university’s Black student body, have spoken out against the incident, describing it as a clear act of racial harassment. They called for accountability and an end to such behavior on campus.
The incident adds to ongoing discussions about race at Ole Miss, a university that, like many Southern institutions, has a historically charged relationship with civil‑rights issues. Campus leaders and student groups have previously addressed concerns about racial equity and inclusion, underscoring the broader context in which this latest episode has emerged.
