Following the Nov. 30, 2021, shooting at Oxford High School that left four students dead and others injured or with emotional harm, the Class of 2022 has something to say about that.
On this week's episode of the "On The Line" podcast, host Cary Junior II and Free Press education equity reporter Lily Altavena take listeners to the first graduation ceremony after the tragedy.
