I never forget this date. It changed something inside me. I will always remember these four who didn’t get to live full lives.
I think they are why I get so upset when adults mock and belittle students who speak up now about their murdered classmates. When young people STOP wanting to make a better world is when we should worry.
I wish I could properly attribute this photograph, but it wasn’t credited where I found it online. If this is your photo and you ever come here, please let me know, and I’ll add your credit. The photo means a lot to me.
