Calvin RunnelsPolice arrested a Rhodes Scholar from Georgia Tech at this week’s Jewish-led Never Again Action protest at the Atlanta Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office. In a guest column, Calvin Runnels, a native of Baton Rouge, explains why he protested and why more Americans ought to join him. (He and another activist were charged with disorderly conduct under a city ordinance during Monday’s protest, which drew more than 100 people.) Runnels graduated in 2018 with a B.S. in biochemistry. The story also appeared in Atlanta Progressive News.
