And the thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters on college campuses included many blacks, especially at the Columbia University protests.

The pro-Palestinian student organization "Columbia University Apartheid Divest" (CUAD) explicitly stated that their solidarity efforts included black students.

- Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race Student Advisory Board
- White Coats 4 Black Lives
- African Students Association
