PARKLAND, Fla. - TIME named five Parkland students to its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
The publication recognized Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students Cameron Kasky, Jaclyn Corin, David Hogg, Emma Gonzalez and Alex Wind in this year's TIME 100.
Former U.S. President Barack Obama wrote the entry.
"By bearing witness to carnage, by asking tough questions and demanding real answers, the Parkland students are shaking us out of our complacency," Obama wrote.
