Activists at the University of Missouri celebrating the resignation of the school's president on Monday, clashed with journalists who arrived at the campus to document the moment, NBC News reported.
After weeks of protests, activists with the Concerned Student 1950 group had turned their complaints of racism into a national story. But instead of welcoming the continued coverage, the activists pushed back.
When journalists, including a student photographer, tried to take pictures of an activist encampment, several of the activists, including faculty members and other adults, blocked them.
A faculty member, identified by the Columbia Missourian as Greek Life and Leadership Assistant Director Janna Basler, blocked Tim Tai, a student at the university's journalism school who had been contracted by ESPN, and told him to leave. The confrontation was captured on video.
