Kent State's grim 40th anniversary

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Kent State University shootings. A student protest against the Vietnam War and the presence of the Ohio National Guard on the Kent State campus ended in tragedy when guardsmen shot and killed four and wounded nine Kent State students.

A poignant archive and documentary is available at May 4 Archive.
