Howard University, an historically black college hit local grocery story Giant this week with backlash after a student that didn't fit the school's population was used in a circular.
The circulars that welcomed back the students from winter break, featured a young Caucasian woman. Howard students retaliated on Facebook and Twitter about the debacle.
It turned out however, that the folks at Giant used the wrong stock image when making the flyer and issued an apology. "Unfortunately an incorrect stock photo was used in the ad and we apologize for this oversight," Jamie Miller, spokesman for Giant, told WTOP in an email. "We wish all Howard University students a successful semester."
The damage was already done. See what many of the students had to say above.
