"On my way to class, this guy went out of his way to bump into me and ... shove me off the sidewalk," she said. "He said 'no n*ggers allowed on the sidewalk'."
"And I was just shocked," she added. "Like, I had no words."
Nkhama also said that when confronted by a nearby student, her attacker replied "Like what ... I'm just trying to make America great again."
"So if you voted for Donald Trump, I hope you realize what that means from someone else's point of view," Nkhama said.
As word of the incident spread throughout campus, students arranged a plan to escort Nkhama to her Friday morning class using the hashtag #IWalkWithNatasha.
Hundreds of people showed up -- including some whose professors let them leave class early to help out.

Meanwhile, Baylor has responded to Nkhama's allegations, stating that the aggressor's behavior "is deeply disturbing and does not in any way reflect Baylor’s faith or values.
"We are a caring, Christian community in which acts of violence and insensitivity have no place," said Kevin P. Jackson, the vice president of student life.
