Fireworks have been tossed into a crowd of mostly black University of Central Missouri students protesting President-elect Donald Trump and the racial climate on the Warrensburg campus.
The Daily Journal Star reports that about 150 protesters were gathered Thursday night on the school's commons when about a dozen all-white students for Trump gathered at the fringe of the crowd.
The protesters included one student, who said she was spit upon and subjected to a racial slur Wednesday. While protesters voiced their concerns about the election, someone threw a firecracker into the edge of the crowd. Later, another louder explosion followed.
