Episode 78 The Kent State Shootings Part 2

We conclude season 4 of Campus Killings with part 2 of our deep dive into the infaamous Kent State shootings. If you have not yet listened to part 1 yet, please stop now and go back and listen to that part first.

In this episode we break down the details of May 4, 1970, when the Ohio National Guard opened fire on protesting students at Kent State University. But what caused the Guard to shoot remains buried beneath shifting memories and a justice system at war with itself.

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.

Campus Killings will return in September with an all new season of cases, so please join us then. Have a safe and fun summer.
