Student activist and Parkland survivor Emma González gave an extremely passionate speech during today’s #MarchForOurLives rally in Washington DC which was one of many to take place around the United States and across the World. However it may have been the words that Emma González didn’t say that had the most impact on the rally goers today in DC. During her speech González stood silent as tears rolled down her face for six minutes and 20 seconds, the time it took for a gunman at her school to kill 17 teachers and classmates at Mary Stoneman Douglas High School back in February.
