Georgia college students speak out on the Israel-Hamas war, campus protests and more

As pro-Palestinian demonstrations roil

several Georgia college campuses, including confrontations with police at two

and a number of arrests, the podcast today welcomes four Atlanta-area

students to get their perspective on what’s happening at schools in the state

and beyond. The students are:

• Braxton Broady, who attends Morehouse College, where tension already exists over the school's invitation to President Joe Biden to give the commencement speech there in mid-May.

• Mozn Shora, a graduating senior at Spelman College who attended protests at Emory University.

• Talia Segal, a senior at Georgia Tech and the outgoing president of the school's chapter of the Jewish campus organization Hillel.

• Daniella Hobbs, a doctoral student at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. She was one of a small group of students who occupied the theology school briefly last week.
