The Kent State Shootings Part 1

Episode 77 The Kent State Shootings Part 1

We wrap up season four of Campus Killings with a 2-parter exploring one of America's darkest and most infamous campus cases; the Kent State shootings. The Kent State Shootings in 1970 have become an infamous case in American history. But while many may know that the National Guard killed students on Kent's campus, there is so much more to the story. In part 1, we examine the environment and factors that setup the tragedy that would unfold on the Kent State campus on May 4, 1970. Be sure to join us in two weeks as we conclude season four and wrap up the Kent State case.

Be sure to check out the awesome book mentioned in this episode; 67 Shots: Kent State and the End of American Innocence by Howard Means as well as the Kent State May 4th Center.
