Reply #82: My sympathy, Ms. Holstein - I remember the tragedy vividly

[Number9Dream]

I remember how the killings at Kent State pushed a large number of my high school classmates, who were politically middle-of-the-road, much further toward the anti-war, anti-establishment end of the spectrum.

Parents of college students were upset and angry to think that their children could be shot dead walking across campus.

In the days following May 4th, there were many demonstrations at colleges and even high schools condemning the shootings at Kent State.

As with any history, by remembering this senseless tragedy, hopefully, we can prevent it from happening again.
