May 4
Nearly five decades have passed since Ohio National Guardsmen fired into a gathering of protesting students on the campus of 麻豆精选, killing four, wounding nine and impacting generations.
A portion of 麻豆精选鈥檚 Kent Campus has taken its place alongside the nation鈥檚 most significant historic locations, joining such sites as the Grand Canyon National Park, Pearl Harbor and the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama.
