Parkland : birth of a movement
Cullen, David, 1961-2019
Book
Something changed with Parkland. When Nicolas Cruz shot seventeen students and teachers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida on 14th February 2018, the story was tragic and familiar. Yet the eighth school shooting that year made history for another reason. Days afterwards, young, traumatised survivors were galvanising their grief and outrage into action. Social media blazed with calls for gun control, and America listened. In just a few weeks, they organised national school walkouts, TV debates with senators and a march on Washington. Dave Cullen had never seen this before. As the author of the definitive book on Columbine, he'd spent twenty years following the epidemic. This book focuses on the aftermath - the extraordinary #NeverAgain campaign that has seized the country with hope.
