Kanye West brought his Sunday Service pop-up to Howard University -- but not everyone supported it
Kanye West -- a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump who once called slavery a choice -- brought his Sunday Service performances to one of the country's most prestigious historically black colleges Saturday.
Posted — UpdatedAnd the faculty and students were kind of here for it, kind of not.
West pulled up to Howard University around 8 a.m., pretty early for most college students. But his performance still drew a crowd, judging from the videos on Twitter.
Greg Carr, an associate professor at Howard's Department of Afro-American Studies, asked his followers to send Kanye to the library after the performance.
"I have some books for him," he wrote, followed by the hashtag #TheMiseducationOfTheNegro.
Writer Frederick Joseph also criticized the school's embrace of West.
"Can't blame Kanye anymore, he's shown us who he is. Black people need to stop making space for his anti-Blackness," he wrote.
Still, West's Sunday Service performances -- his signature hip-hop and gospel pop-up events -- have been huge. Brad Pitt even pulled up to one last month, and it doesn't get much bigger than that.
