The Empire star, 44, shares stories of her son Marcel, 20, being racially profiled and why he will be transferring colleges in her interview with Uptowm Magazine.
“I’m not paying $50K so I can’t sleep at night, wondering is this the night my son is getting racially profiled on campus,” Henson told the magazine.
“My child has been racially profiled. He was in Glendale, California and did exactly everything the cops told him to do, including letting them illegally search his car. It was bogus because they didn’t give him the ticket for what he was pulled over for,” she said.
She then added, “Then he’s at University of Southern California, the school that I was going to transfer him to, when police stopped him for having his hands in his pockets.”
Do you think she is making the right decision by sending her son to an HBCU?
