Monday, May 4, 2020. Remembering Kent State. May 4th is the 50th Anniversary of the shootings at Kent State University. Across Ohio we will be remembering, from home, May 4th, 1970, when Ohio Governor Rhodes called out the National Guard who fired into unarmed Anti-Vietnam War protesters killing 4 and wounding 9. Daytonians for Peace asks you join in 4 minutes of silence at noon to remember Kent State and Jackson State and all the victims of our unjust wars. Please join online in the many efforts to end our current wars. We need to build a massive peace movement to stand up to Trump and the WAR Machine.
