THE KENT STATE SHOOTINGS-MURDER OR MISFORTUNE | 50+ YRS Van Young Sunday, May 4, 2024, is the 55th anniversary of the Kent State Shootings. We examine the events leading up to the shootings of May 4, 1970 and the aftermath, including the trial of the National Guardsman several years later. Should any responsibility be placed on the soldiers for this tragedy or did the students and demonstrators hold all the blame? We review the animosity that existed at the time between student antiwar protestors and the United States government. Was it a murder or a tragedy? 552521 A 10 am-Noon F 5/16 BCCC, Level 2, Program Room B $5 R-BCCC M | $6 NR THE DAKOTA SIOUX WAR OF 1862 & CUSTER’S LAST STAND | 50+ YRS Van Young 6/11 - The Dakota Sioux War of 1862: This war was an armed conflict between the United States and several bands of Dakota/Sioux Native Americans.
