MIAMI — Dwyane Wade went to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High hoping to spread some goodwill and bring much-needed smiles to faces of students and teachers.
He also went to listen — and was impressed by what the kids said.
Speaking Thursday about his surprise visit the previous day to the school in Parkland, Florida were 17 people — mostly students — were shot and killed last month, the Miami Heat guard said he was stunned to see how well-organized the Douglas students are already in their quest for fast and substantive societal change.
"They are well-prepared and well-aware of what they need to do and what they want to do and the change they want to see," Wade said.
