<P><BR></P>
<P>In the wake of the first anniversary of the events at Parkland, Dave Cullen (the New York Times bestselling author of <EM>Columbine</EM>) offers an intimate new account of the extraordinary teenage survivors who became activists and inspired millions of Americans to join their grassroots #neveragain movement. Having witnessed the escalation of the mass shootings epidemic over the last two decades, Cullen reveals how a courageous group of students took control of their story, used their grief as a catalyst for change, and transformed tragedy into a movement of astonishing hope that has galvanized a nation. Cullen discusses this inspiring look at the 2nd Amendment in action. A special performance by Compton Kidz Club to follow the conversation.</P>
