Details of Kent State University's 50th Virtual Commemoration of May 4, 1970

May 04, 2020

On May 4, 1970, the Ohio National Guard fired on Kent State students during an anti-war protest, killing four students and wounding nine other students. In keeping with the commitment to honor and remember those tragic events, Kent State is hosting a virtual program to mark the historic 50th Commemoration of May 4, 1970.

David Crosby and the Sky Trails band were due to perform alongside Joe Walsh in a special commemorative concert but due to the current restrictions in place due to Covid-19 and keeping everyone safe, the concert was unfortunately cancelled.

There is a full day of virtual events taking place including a short video from David Crosby and you can find all the details here - https://www.kent.edu/may4kentstate50
