I went to Ohio on business for 2 weeks recently and went to see the May 4th memorial at Kent State University. I was impressed even though there wasn't  a lot to see. So I am posting some of the pictures here so others can see. Like I said, no matter what side you're on, the pictures are here to view.

And More

Still more.....

Very cool. Im headed to that area in a couple weeks. May have to stop by and see for myself.

Thanks for posting

Thank you for posting those pictures and for the reminder of what can happen when those in authority overstep their bounds.

I was 10 years old living up near Montreal, Canada when that happened.
I never really looked into it - sounds horrific.
In the end, what were the NG's reasons for open firing?  :128-

This is where I went to school for 5 years getting my bachelor in Architecture.  All the monuments are around Taylor Hall where I spent 18 to 20 hours a day and walked by them all the time.  It was often a reminder and in many ways an eerie feeling to be right where it happened.  There is a candle light service every year and I was often amazed looking out of the top windows of Taylor down at the 100's of people that came to remember.

The photo you see #383 of the statue with Taylor Hall in the background (looks like a modern representation of 2 people standing side by side holding hands) was actually there prior to the May 4 event.  It's a representation of "peace and harmony" and people getting along basically.  The ironic thing, if you look very closely at that statue you will see several bullet holes in it from "missed shots" by the National Guard.



Because they were ordered to.
