University of Oklahoma officials issued an alert after a man in blackface was caught on camera walking on and near campus Wednesday afternoon. Various videos show the man in blackface wearing a red OU beanie, a dark-red scarf and a white T-shirt reading "Tommy Mr. King of Controversy Sotomayor The Anti-PC Tour." He was walking along Campus Corner and then on the northern section of campus.University officials tweeted that campus police have been called, and they are working to determine if the man is a student."An individual has been observed walking on and near campus in blackface," OU officials said. "The individual has not been located by OUPD and we have no information whether he is a student. OUPD is working to ensure all on campus are safe." The incident comes a day after students, faculty members and supporters gathered for the Rally to Stop Racism event on campus. The event happened less than a week after an online posting of a racist video involving two now-former OU students, one of whom was in blackface and used a racial slur.During the rally, former dean of the International Studies College Suzette Grillot called for university President Jim Gallogly's resignation. Gallogly was named OU's 14th president in March, replacing David Boren, who had served as president from 1994 to 2018."We are in this together, and we will make this happen now," Grillot said in a video posted by OU Daily reporter Jericka Handie. "Enough is enough. No more racism. ... I'm not going to be as kind to the people who came before me and said, 'In a year from now, we're going to ask for your resignation.' I'm (expletive) going to ask for it now."Sotomayor, whose tour shirt the man was wearing, said he's "very offended that he is wearing my shirt from my tour ... it's not cool at all."
