Activist Nathan Phillips says now is not the time to meet with students at Covington Catholic

CINCINNATI — Native American activist Nathan Phillips says he does not want to meet with students from Covington Catholic High School.

Cincinnati restaurateur Jeff Ruby had invited Phillips to "break bread and make amends" with the students after short clips of an incident between students at the Park Hills all-boy high school and Phillips at the Indigenous Peoples March in Washington D.C. went viral.

Ruby said Monday he would fly Phillips first class to have dinner with the CovCath students at one of his high-end restaurants.

"It's not the right time," Phillips told The Enquirer on Monday night. "I might consider it at some point. There'd have to be certain assurances in place, give and take, and understanding."
