41 Years After Kent State Shootings – Remembering May 4, 1970

Posted on May 4, 2011 by Trish Nelson

Today is the 41st anniversary of the Kent State shootings of student
anti-war protestors by National Guardsmen…four students were killed,
nine wounded.

 Video

  “In 12.53 seconds, 28 Guardsmen got off 61 to 67 shots..” 

This famous
photograph was taken by a student.

If you are visiting Kent State, you can request a tour of the May 4 site. The May 4 Task Force welcomes those who make time to visit the solemn site of this historic event.
