NPR : The Kent State Shootings, 35 Years Later
In remembrance. The times were so very turbulent. I remember this and it has burned a permanent scar in my psyche. I don't even think they teach this in our history classes.
Today we are troubled by a similar conflict and thankfully no young person has been killed for protesting an unjust war - but then I don't see many young people protesting or even as outraged as we seemed to be back then...
Are we afraid to face our own government anymore? Has this message grown any less timeless? Isn't war/violence STILL wrong?
It is to me..
