Photos of the 4 dead at Kent State on May 4 1970
On May 4, 1970 the Ohio National Guard opened fire into a busy college campus during a school day. A total of 67 shots were fired in 13 seconds. Four students: (clockwise from Top Left) Allison Krause, William Schroeder, Sandra Scheuer, and Jeffrey Miller were killed protesting the war in Vietnam, as well as covert plans for invasions of Vietnam’s neighbouring countries.
Three of the 4 dead were Jewish. The total Jewish population of Kent State University at the time was 5% of the campus student body.
Join us on Wednesday, May 5, as we commemorate and discuss the legacy of the Kent State 4. We’ll meet in Sem 2 E2105 at 2pm.
