Four Dead In Ohio: Remembering the May 1970 Kent State Shootings

50 years ago, the U.S. was awash in civil unrest over the war in Vietnam and racial injustice. This week, we look back at that tumultuous time and focus on the shootings of student protesters at Kent State University by members of the Ohio National Guard in May of 1970. New Mexico State University Professor of History Kenneth Hammond was a student activist at Kent State University at the time and joins us to discuss the incident, its aftermath and the parallels to today’s protest movements.
