This week marks one year since an unspeakable act of violence was carried out in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. One year since a gunman stole the lives of 19 fourth graders and two teachers at Robb Elementary. One year since the name “Uvalde” came to represent much more than a town, added to a list that no one wants to be on. One year since a community in southern Texas was marked forever.
