Opponents of Atlanta’s new public safety training center are focusing their efforts elsewhere two years after Georgia State Troopers fatally shot an environmental activist.

At a rally at the Old Fourth Ward Skate Park on Jan. 18, a crowd of about 100 people gathered to remember Manuel Esteban Paez Teran, who many know as “Tortuguita.”

Atlanta poet Adan Bean was among them.
