Two journalism graduate students said they were racially profiled at a Marco Rubio town hall on Sunday in New Hampshire.
The students, who are black, attended the event with a group from New York University as part of a reporting trip to cover the days before the New Hampshire primary. The students did not have press credentials, but rather attended as part of the general public.
Taisha Henry and Ugonma Ubani-Ebere told BuzzFeed News that they were standing in front of the press line, considering how to best set up a camera and tripod. They'd already done interviews outside and were hoping to capture footage of the town hall to use as b-roll.
