Vandals hit TSU with graffiti days before Centennial Celebration

Three days before Tennessee State University’s Centennial Celebration [1], workers spent the day cleaning up graffiti after vandals struck the campus overnight.

At least four buildings, including the Walter S. Davis Humanities Buildings and the Howard C. Gentry Complex, were spray painted with orange graffiti.

According to TSU spokesman Richard DelaHaya, the TSU Police Department is investigating the incident, but they don’t have any suspects. They also haven’t determined whether the graffiti was gang-related or if students were responsible.

Staff and students worked throughout the day to clean up the graffiti.

TSU’s Centennial Celebration will begin on Saturday with the spring football game and continue for a week. The school is celebrating its 100th year.
