On this day, 4 May 1970, the Kent State massacre took place when the Ohio National Guard fired 67 rounds into a crowd of students protesting against the bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam war, killing four and wounding nine others, including bystanders and one person who was permanently paralysed. Those killed were Sandra Lee Scheuer, aged 20, Allison B. Krause, 19, Jeffrey Glenn Miller, 20, and William Knox Schroeder, 19. The repression galvanised anti-war sentiment, with students in New York hanging banners stating "You Can't Kill Us All" and in the next few days millions took to the streets in protest.

History

May 4, 1494 - During his second journey of exploration in the New World, Christopher Columbus discovered Jamaica.

May 4, 1886 - The Haymarket Square Riot occurred in Chicago after 180 police officers advanced on 1,300 persons gathered in the square listening to speeches of labor activists and anarchists. A bomb was thrown. Seven policemen were killed and over 50 wounded. Four anarchists were then charged with conspiracy to kill, convicted and hanged while another committed suicide in jail. Three others were given lengthy jail terms.

May 4, 1970 - At Kent State University, four students - Allison Krause, 19; Sandra Lee Scheuer, 20; Jeffrey Glenn Miller, 20; and William K. Schroeder, 19 - were killed by National Guardsmen who opened fire on a crowd of 1,000 students protesting President Richard Nixon's decision to invade Cambodia. Eleven others were wounded. The shootings set off tumultuous campus demonstrations across America resulting in the temporary closing of over 450 colleges and universities.

Terry Pratchett once said that a man is never dead as long as his name is spoken. It’s a quote which offers a message of hope-- that even when a person close to us dies, they will live on in our memories of them and in the impact they left on the world-- but it also presents an imperative duty. We should not, and MUST not, forget our dead, because to do so would snuff out their last spark of their life that exists in the world.

In that spirit, I'd like to take a moment to commemorate the victims of the Kent State shootings of May 4, 1970. Four students were killed and nine more injured by the Ohio National Guard during a school-wide Vietnam War protest as a result of Ohio being put under martial law in an attempt to prevent protests. Though four students perished that day, they left a quantifiable legacy on the anti-Vietnam War movement, as protesters now fought not only for the men being drafted to war but for the victims at Kent State. Their memories live on-- and MUST live on-- in the hearts of not only Kent, Ohio, but the rest of the world.

(Click here if you’d like to see pictures of the event and read a retrospective, although if such content would be triggering you’re under no obligation)

There’s nothing wrong with celebrating Star Wars day today, but in the midst of that, please don’t forget the students at Kent State.

Rest In Power, Jeffrey Glenn Miller, Allison B. Krause, William Knox Schroeder, and Sandra Lee Scheuer. You are gone, but not forgotten, and your names are still being spoken.
