The purpose of this research is to understand how undergraduate men of color at a predominantly White institution experienced the 2016 Presidential election. This election was one that evoked much interest, tension, and divisiveness across many communities. Data for this study come from 15 men of color who were interviewed over a two-month period postelection. Drawing from qualitative methods, we found that undergraduate men of color were concerned about the future of the United States and its policies, felt like an outsider on campus, experienced verbal assaults, and felt hopelessness and despair. Findings for this study provide new insights about how undergraduate men of color experienced the 2016 Presidential election. Implications for theory and practice are offered.
