Tuesday, March 2, 2021 at 7 PM
On Feb. 14, 2018 a gunman wielding an AR-15 entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and fired on students, faculty and staff. Seventeen people lost their lives, and many others were wounded. Samantha Fuentes was among the injured in the Parkland tragedy. While fortunate to be alive, she is still battling the physical and mental ramifications of that day. Despite these tragic events, Fuentes is committed to a delivering a poignant message in today's conversation: to make sure that no child or adult is devastated by senseless and preventable gun violence ever again. This event is part of the yearlong lecture series Racial Justice: Be the Change organized by the College of Humanities, Education, and Social Sciences at Gannon University. It is also sponsored by the School of Public Service & Global Affairs within the college as well as community partners Aetna and the Crime Victims Center. This is a virtual event.
