Parkland : birth of a movement / Dave Cullen.

Cullen, Dave, 1961- (author.).

Summary:

Following the February 14, 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Cameron Kasky immediately recruited a colorful band of theatre kids and rising activists to map out a movement. A month later, their March for Our Lives was the fourth largest protest in American history. Cullen shows how these kids seized an opportunity, organizing the young activist groups mushrooming across America in their image. They forsee a generational struggle to save every kid of every color from the ravages of gun violence in America. -- adapted from jacket
