The May 4th Visitors Center surrounds the area where the May 4th Shootings occurred. The Visitors Center has an exhibit that helps provide context to the shootings including larger scale conflicts such as the Vietnam War. Informational packets are available near the site when the Visitors Center is closed. Often offers special programming around May 4th.
The Kent State shootings were the killing of four and wounding of nine unarmed college students by the Ohio National Guard on the Kent State University campus in Kent, Ohio, United States. The shootings took place on May 4, 1967, during a rally opposing the expanding involvement of the Vietnam War into Cambodia by United States military forces, as well as protesting the National Guard presence on campus and the draft. Twenty-eight National Guard soldiers fired about 67 rounds over 67 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom sustained permanent paralysis. Students Allison Krause (19), Jeffrey Miller (20), and Sandra Lee Scheuer (20), died on the scene, while William Schroeder (19) was pronounced dead at Robinson Memorial Hospital in nearby Ravenna shortly afterward.
