Internet Resources for the Kent State Shootings
- Craig S. Simpson (Kent State University)
Abstract
On May 4, 1970, a confrontation on the Kent State University (KSU) campus between Vietnam War protesters and the Ohio National Guard turned tragic when armed guardsmen fired into a crowd of KSU students, leaving four dead and nine wounded. Although conventional wisdom at the time believed such a tragedy to be inevitable, few expected that it would happen on a relatively serene campus in a small Ohio town. For forty years, “Why Kent State?” has been a question with a plethora of possible answers, and for researchers it is a subject that has revealed numerous complexities. It is also a subject that continues to generate considerable popular interest and information in the digital realm. Here are some of the best on-line resources documenting the Kent State shootings.
