It is better to study than act too quickly; but it is best to be ready to act intelligently when the appropriate opportunity arises… Speak up. Learn to talk clearly and forcefully in public.

Margaery Stoneman Doulas would have gone to work in support of the students if she were around today. That's an excellent name for this school, the students have taken a page from her playbook and refused to shut up! Ole Marge would've been proud.
@@EmpressMermaid Actually she ironically protested our school the day it was opened lol (its built on the everglades)... but she would support the students I think you're right.
The only thing they left out was that the Seminole tribes got kicked out of the everglades by private contractors and the government and thats why it had to be saved in the first place :(
Exactly; I'm an "environmentalist" in terms of voting and know some history but couldn't place her. Then I see Emma González and it's like "oh shit!" She's the new Marjorie!
Beautiful! She went real sincere with it and it paid off. I laughed and also teared up. Connecting history to present social causes and justice warriors is something you should do more of!!

Okay so I went to MSD high school and I just want to say is I love the IRONY that they BUILT a SCHOOL where a part of the Everglades was to dedicate a woman who tried to PRESERVE it as much as she can 😂
Yup, and now, as the video said, in the spirit of "not taking things away" the students of said high school want to take away your 2nd Amendment rights. Nonstop irony with that place.
I was born here in Miami September 8th 1966. My first trip to Everglades National Park was in 1970 chokoloskee Florida. Everglades City. All I can tell you is this is the first time that I've seen this and of course I have the book the River of Grass. This is outstanding and Incredibly emotional for me. From Everglades City as a kid going down to Flamingo and then all points in between on the Gulf of Mexico. And thankfully my wife and my children adults now and my son-in-law who's from Chicago we're able to see the beauty of the Everglades. It's not like it was at all. I remember when I first went to Everglade City in 1970. The horseshoe crabs were alive lining the beach the Turner River had the burial mounds which were intact. This was a strange place of beauty. Thank you for this incredible whatever you want to call it! Cheers and thank you for remembering!
What's sad & pathetic is how the MSD Parkland, school board, Broward County put a new 🏢 on the campus & made no mention, 0, of the 2018 spree shooting, the students or the loss at all. Damn! 😠
The 305 proudly appreciates everything this woman has done. She helped keep our home away from home as green as possible for countless generations of immigrant families. Gracias senorita🙏🏻
When my son and his friends and I were harrassed by Republicans and even my own brother in law at the March for our Lives down here in parkland last year I wrote that quote on our kitchen chalkboard and it stayed there until we moved. His school and job have experienced shootings in the time since.
@Joe Mamma The fact that you chose the Confederate battle flag as your profile picture would seem to indicate that you are not a fan of the constitution yourself.
Yes yes a thousand times yes- thank you Drunk history for bringing laughs and knowledge all the time. This time you brought hope into your videos. And I’m here for it.
I love this !! Thank you so much for doing this. I was raised in Parkland, FL and I am a Marjory stoneman Douglas alumni. I currently teach high school students. This video means a lot.
I grew up in the Everglades! It definitely can be humid, icky, sticky and gross. However, when you aren't getting bit by misquotes or dealing with the ash from the harvesting of sugarcane. It's a downright magical place to call home.
I’m wondering if they filmed the ending earlier in the drinking. She was so spot on and perfectly inspiring without all the little drunken hiccups from the rest of the story. I LOVED this video!
I feel the host here looks disapprovingly at his female guest being drunk... and all smiles and laughter when it’s a male guest. Just had to say it. I’ve been binge-watching. Love this!!!
This was the first Drunk History I ever watched, and is still one of my very favorites. I love that this show has actually sparked an interest in history for so many of us!
This is the way that I would have loved this story told when I was a fourth-grader in Florida History class! My teacher was... not this charismatic when telling it
Aubrey Kemper I feel that way about a lot of history in the United States. US history is an exciting drama, but is presented in watered down facts & dates. My appreciation for the ideas this country stands for were acquired in college due to reading I did on my own. ☹️ Our curriculum should be presented in a way that inspires and excites young people to both appreciate & participate in our democracy.

True... came here for the laughs ... went away motivated and educated! God DAMN! What a good clickbait!!

Iamrip Lolz yeah
Hell ya, I just bought River of Grass!
I think it’s because your drunk
Emma Kay Franklin Nah, I just grew up in The Everglades.
I spent the whole video thinking "why do I know her name?"
And then that ending hit like an emotional freight train.
Same here! That was definitely an excellent ending!

This is the perfect example of Drunk History benefiting from an uplifting, spirited narrator.

More old timey activists! Was cool hearing about who MSD actually was - and there's so many relatively unknown folks out there who fought so hard

so did I, I always tell people that ironic fact as a way to break the tension

I understand. It got to me, also. I'm sure it would've gotten to me so much easier if I had also had a few glasses of wine ;-)
This wasn't supposed to make me cry but it did and I really needed to hear Marjory Stoneman Douglas' words today. What an icon
I'm so touched. Marjorie would be proud of the children who go forth in her name.

Awww, she legit made me cry when she quoted MSD. Don't ever give up!!
