Hey Steem Fam,
I was working most of last night, grabbed some sleep earlier, woke up, messed around a bit then turned on the news to catch up.
THEN remembered that the student protests were today.
And started grabbing screen pics.
There are a couple that will be out of order but I think generally this is how it flowed since I've been watching, picture-story-wise...
Crowd shot while student speakers are on stage:
Student leader speaks about her brother Ricardo's death. Very emotional, stops and crowd supports her through her tears:
Another student leader speaking:
Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ben Platt sing to support the students:
Crowd chanting 'no more':
12 year old student speaking on behalf of her family members and others killed. Says she's especially speaking on behalf of black girls and young women whose deaths do not make it to the news:
Parkland student survivor, Jacqueline Corin:
Another crowd picture:
Ok, that's it for Part 1 of this mini-series.
I have lots more pictures to crop.
The Washington march and rally has ended but there are others that will be starting up later.
I'm going to grab some breakfast at 3:29pm, Jamaica/Central time.
Then I'll do some quick editing afterwards to post later.
See you then in Part 2 of this live blogging of today's student protests.
Angela
PS I had planned a couple other posts for today but am so glad to be doing this.
It's been a longggg time since I've live tweeted a worldwide event and it's nice live blogging it here instead. ;)
