It was 36 years ago today that Miller, Allison Krause, Sandra Scheuer and William Schroeder, were massacred by Army National Guardsmen at a Vietnam war protest on the Kent State campus. It was a watershed event that touched off a nationwide student strike that forced hundreds of colleges and universities to close and signaled the zenith of American opposition to that war.
Tin soldiers and Nixon comin',
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drummin',
Four dead in O-hi-o.
~ Ohio, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
