On May 4, 1970, Ohio’s National Guard killed four young people during anti-war protests on the Kent State campus. We will view “Kent State: The Day the War Came Home (2002).” The film looks at the reasons for the attack on anti-Vietnam-war student demonstrators by National Guardsmen, shows the build-up of the protest against the Vietnam War, and follows the stories of the four students who were killed at Kent State. Persons who witnessed the events, including a wounded student-activist, a now paralyzed student, three former National Guardsman, and a sociology professor, are interviewed in the film.
