Oakland school board forum Zoom bombed
Zach Norris, director of the Ella Baker Center, said an Oakland school board forum was Zoom bombed by white supremacists
OAKLAND, Calif. - In Oakland, police are investigating how a candidate's forum for the Oakland school board was taken over in a "Zoom bomb" attack.
"We have been zoom bombed by some white supremacists," said Zach Norris, executive director of the Ella Baker Center, which hosted the forum over the weekend.
Two school board candidates, who are both African-American women, were about to take questions when the feed was hacked and taken over.
Dia Penning and Cherisse Gash were verbally attacked with racial slurs and death threats.
The FBI has joined the investigation.
