11-Year-Old Girl Makes Impassioned March For Our Lives Speech

Description

11 year old Naomi Wadler gave an impassioned speech in front of thousands at March For Our Lives in Washington D.C. Not yet out of elementary school, Wadler is already an active member of her community in Alexandria, VA. She, along with a classmate at George Mason Elementary School, lead their walkout on March 14. Their walkout was one of many in the nationwide walkout to protest gun violence. During her speech, Wadler said, “I am here today to acknowledge and represent the African-American girls whose stories don’t make the front page of every national newspaper." She added, “I represent the African-American women who are victims of gun violence, who are simply statistics instead of vibrant, beautiful girls full of potential.”
