North Carolina university students walked out of classes Thursday, demanding justice for Nolan Wells. Calls for an independent federal investigation into the 18-year-old Black college student’s death in July have spread from Mississippi to Atlanta, New York, and now HBCUs and other schools across the South, after a Jackson County grand jury declared that it found “no evidence” of a crime and declined to bring charges in September.
