The incident at Kent State was precipitated by the?
Like students everywhere in the mid-1960s to early 1970s, students of Kent State University in Kent, Ohio in May 1970 were protesting the Civil War. Nearly all protests in that era were non-violent, the "sit in" variety. But "the establishment" (anyone in authority) did not like that they could not control protesters (anywhere). Plus, in response to Pres. Nixon announcing a new offensive, students set fire to the ROTC building. So the Governor of Ohio called out the Ohio National Guard to "control" the situation. But the Guardsmen opened fire on the unarmed students! They killed 4 and wounded 9. This was, as people say now, "huge"! It was shocking! Unconscionable! Nothing like this had ever occurred before against White unarmed students. Plus, film of the protest and aftermath of students lying on the ground, bleeding or dead, was televised. It was a sobering turn, in that it felt like US citizens were not just protesting an unfair and unjust war in Vietnam, but also fighting the cruelty of our own government toward its own citizens.
