Based on my research, here is my analysis of the claim:

Reasoning:

• Racist and anti-Semitic graffiti was discovered in Mitchell Towers at Albion College between March 28 and April 6, 2021¹². Students held demonstrations on Monday and Tuesday (April 5-6) before the perpetrator was identified¹³.
• On April 7, 2021, the college identified the perpetrator as a current student — a 21-year-old Black male — who admitted responsibility and was temporarily suspended²¹⁴.
• The claim that marches "ceased after" the perpetrator was identified is chronologically accurate regarding the initial demonstrations, but it is misleading in its framing. The Detroit Free Press explicitly reported that "the protests continued even after a suspect was found" because students were focused on broader systemic racism and campus climate issues, not merely identifying one perpetrator⁵.
• A community healing forum was held on April 9 after the perpetrator was identified, where NAACP leaders and students affirmed that "an act of racial injustice is still an act of racial injustice, whether you're a part of that community or not"⁶.
• The claim appears to echo a social media narrative that the protests were a "hoax" that stopped once the perpetrator was revealed to be Black⁷. However, news reports indicate that while social media attacks shifted the conversation, student activism and community engagement continued through forums and meetings with administrators⁵.
