A business owner’s decision to put a Ku Klux Klan banner on a downtown building has led to several days of protests, and now a boycott by a student group at the University of North Georgia. Dahlonega “won’t be pushed around” according to Jordan Parker, one of the five student speakers at a press conference held Tuesday evening at UNG. The conference was held to announce a student coalition’s goal to boycott businesses owned by Roberta Green-Garrett. She owns several rental properties and the Holiday Inn Express in Dahlonega, as well as an antique mall in the town.
