Samuell High School in Dallas drove to Parkland Memorial Hospital. Pictured here are two of those students: Charles Hodges (left) and Mike Cargile (right). These two and several of their classmates appear in numerous photographs taken outside the Emergency entrance to Parkland that afternoon. Unidentified for many years, a series of interviews recorded as part of The Sixth Floor Museum's Oral History Project helped shed some light on their unique experiences that day.
You can learn more about these students from W.W. Samuell High School and the research that went into their photo identification in this public program, "Moments & Memories," recorded at The Sixth Floor Museum in 2015.
