Political activist Jerry Rubin speaks to Kent State students at an anti-war rally April 30, 1970. This rally and other anti-war protests led then- Gov. James A. Rhodes to send the National Guard to the campus. On May 4, 1970, guardsmen opened fire on a crowd of students, killing four and wounding nine. Area residents who have connections to the event are still affected by it today.
