A conversation with Antoinette Tuff, best selling author, speaker, survivor, and CNN Hero of the Year. On August 20, 2013, Antoinette Tuff became a hero by talking an armed 20 year old with an AK47 and 500 rounds of ammunition, out of shooting up an elementary school. It was empathy and compassion that won out that day. Antoinette joined the Campfire on March 31, to share her story.
