Emma González spoke for just under two minutes, before tens of thousands of demonstrators at the March for Our Lives rally in Washington, describing the effects of gun violence in emotional detail and reciting the names of classmates who had been killed.
Emma Gonzalez is an American activist and advocate for gun control. As a high school senior she survived the February 2018 Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida,and in response co-founded the gun-control advocacy group Never Again MSD. She first drew national attention after a speech she gave at a rally against Gun Violence went viral, famously proclaiming “We call B.S.” on the lack of action by politicians funded by the National Rifle Association(NRA).
Yet another powerful moment of the day was when 11-year-old Naomi Wadler took the stage to stand up for black girls affected by gun violence. She captivated her audience as she declared “Never again!” on behalf of black women and girls who have been the victims of gun violence.
“Me and my friend Carter led a walkout at our elementary school on the 14th,” Wadler said. “We walked out for 18 minutes, adding a minute to honour Courtlin Arrington, an African-American girl who was the victim of gun violence at her school in Alabama after the Parkland shooting.”
“I am here to acknowledge and represent the African-American girls whose stories don’t make the front page of every national newspaper, whose stories don’t lead on the evening news,” she added.
