After surviving a school shooting at their high school, the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas turned their grief and anger into extraordinary activism against gun violence.
Though I followed this story on and off when it was originally reported in the news, it's quite another thing to see it put all together in the arc of the initial eighteen months. This book really made it hit home to me how incredible and unlikely it was that Never Again MSD would gain the momentum that it did - but in another way how inevitable too.
Cullen in the author of [book:Columbine|5632446] as well, and before reading Parkland I had thought this book would be structured similarly. But we do not spend scarcely any time at the moment of the tragedy; while [book:Columbine|5632446] explains to us how it was that the tragedy happened, Parkland focuses instead on what was built in the aftermath.
