HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The March for Our Lives movement is unlike any other seen in this country.
In downtown Houston, a fifth-grader took the podium at Tranquility Park to share his story.
Dezmond Floyd, 10, was chosen after he told his mother he would stand between a gunman and his classmates if there was a shooting.
His mother posted their conversation on Facebook.
"I lived a life that I deserve and wanted, and I even got to travel with my family, which was exciting and something my friends haven't really done," he said. "So I wanted them to have the opportunity to have that life experience and them to have the opportunity to have their future they wanted."
