Speaker Profile

David Hogg

Co-founder, March for Our Lives

David Hogg

David Hogg is a gun-control activist and college student. He became a household name at 17 as a high school senior who survived the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting on February 14, 2018. At the time, Hogg was a student journalist for the Sun Sentinel’s “Teenlink” section. Hogg used his journalistic skills during the Parkland shooting by recording a video of him and his fellow classmates huddled together, sharing their views on gun-violence prevention as an active shooter situation was unfolding. A co-founder of the March for Our Lives movement, Hogg is still advocating for gun-control reform.

Pushkin presents REVISIONIST HISTORY: Unlocked and Unloaded

Crosscut Festival 2024
Sat May 4, 2024 | 2:45pm

Revisionist History is Malcolm Gladwell’s journey through the overlooked and the misunderstood. Every episode re-examines something from the past — an event, a person, an idea, even a song — and asks whether we got it right the first time. Because sometimes the past deserves a second chance. This live edition is the culmination of a six-part series from Revisionist History about everything Americans get wrong about guns with a conversation between host Gladwell with gun control activist David Hogg and trauma surgeon Babak Sarani.
