On a frigid March day, students around the region left their classrooms for 17 minutes — one minute for each of the victims of the Parkland school shooting — to protest gun violence. Many stayed out even longer, marching to the White House and the Capitol to demand gun control measures. WAMU reporter Mikaela Lefrak joins Kojo to set the scene.
