WASHINGTON, April 11 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., trying to reach out to minority communities, was met with protests and cheers when he spoke at historically black Howard University.
When Paul suggested that Republicans, more than Democrats, historically favored equality for blacks, two Howard students raced to the front of the auditorium and raised a banner with the words "Howard University does not support white supremacy" before being rousted by campus police and dragged to the side, Roll Call reported Wednesday.
