Remembering Kent State

From Mike and Kendra’s Kent State site:

“On May 4, 1970 Ohio National Guardsmen open fire on unarmed Kent State student protesters, killing four and wounding nine. The students were protesting the invasion of Cambodia in Southeast Asia by United States troops as well as the invasion of their campus by the Guard. The campus was subsequently shut down and 20,000 students sent home. Within the next two weeks over 500 campuses around the country would shut down as millions of students took to the streets to protest the Kent State murders and the Cambodian Invasion. The war in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, which had raged for over ten years and had cost the lives of over two million Southeast Asians and over 50 thousand Americans, had come home.”
