OXFORD, Mich. — Reina St. Juliana looks at the photograph of her younger sister, Hana, and sees her beautiful face smiling back and her hands holding a bundle of lavender, one of the 14-year-old's favorite flowers.
Reina, 17, does not see how this photograph — part of a planned temporary memorial inside Oxford High School for Hana and three other victims of the Nov. 30 school massacre — could trigger trauma or why it should be placed in a school theater where most students won't see it.
For months, Reina and dozens of other students at Oxford High have battled with district and school board officials over what the temporary memorial for Hana; Madisyn Baldwin, 17; Justin Shilling, 17; and Tate Myre, 16 — who were all killed in the attack — should contain and where it should be located.
