Episode Details

In Uvalde, it’s not an anniversary, it is a mark. And the three year mark of the city’s darkest hour is May 24, 2025. The publisher of the Uvalde Leader News started a journal the day after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School to serve as a daily calendar of what really happened, and he’s turned that journal into a book. Craig Garnett says while it may appear the community has gotten better, you can still find plenty of anxiety and grief just below the surface. Garnett also explains why the tragedy is not just the deaths, but also the institutional failures in the community, and how its ripple effect still impacts residents on a daily basis.
