des moines, iowa. and some people like that, you know, they're stale out there. they were sort of the trolls of 1965, but i think that was the hardest thing when people threw red paint at our house and called us communists just because we were speaking up for peace. my mom would say, we're not communists, we're methodists. so we handled it with, you know, by just laughing at times and crying at times and always remembering the sacrifice that other people before us had made. we always thought about the birmingham kids and the other kids in the civil rights movement and people who had risked their lives and really stood up to make a difference to make our democracy better. >> and he asks why also did you feel the need to start this and did you have any regrets about this? >> why did i start it? i was just emotionally motivated as the young people i think at marjory stoneman douglas have been. there are strong emotions and those strong emotions call for strong action. that's the motivation. we would watch
