Some students at Spellman College aren’t happy about the selection of Atlanta’s black woman mayor as this year’s commencement speaker. The students at the city’s historically black women’s college told WSB-TV that they believe Bottoms is in favor of gentrification. The commencement is set for May 19 at the Georgia International Convention Center in Atlanta. (Alyssa Pointer/Atlanta Journal-Constitution via AP, File)
