“[After Kent State] the Vietnam anti-war movement ended across America … We saw the quashing of young people’s moralistic, idealistic dedication to principle. ”
–Thomas Michaels, who lived in Kent, Ohio at the
time of the shootings
On May 4 1970, National Guardsmen on the campus of Kent State University open-fired at un-armed students who were protesting the Vietnam War and the U.S. bombing of Cambodia. Sixty-seven shots were fired, killing four Kent students and wounding nine.
We reflect on the events of that day and the legacy of the Kent State Massacre.
