PHOTO ESSAY: Bay Area students find their voice on National Walkout day

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Not long ago, kids ducked, covered, and lived with constant worries about death by a nuclear attack from outside our borders.

Now, they live in persistent fear of armed assaults from within. And on campuses?

TAKE ACTION: Get help with improving our schools

Who woulda' thunk that?

I took these photos during the marches, Wednesday.

Most of these kids are not legal adults, but they have certainly found their voices. Imagine a future when they're old enough to vote.
