Activist, artist, Manuel Oliver addresses gun violence

Activist and artist Manuel Oliver, father of slain Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student, Joaquin Oliver, spoke about gun violence after the Main Street Players debuted their latest show, "Church and State," on Feb. 8.

Oliver spoke about his son Joaquin, who was just 17 when he and 16 others were killed at the Parkland school on Feb. 14, 2018. Oliver said he was proud of the students at Parkland, and feels youth will lead the effort in reducing or eliminating guns in this country, Dennis Lyzniak said.
