Really well-done exhibit, and a very moving presentation. It should really be open to the general public and not just current students.

Kent State is a terrific school and campus. They are trying very hard to make the campus and learning experience a 100% class act. Go Flashes.

The park around the building is full of black squirrels. It was fun to hang out with them. Right in the parking lot you can see the exact spots where the 4 students fell and you can also see the bullet hole in the metal sculpture. It's still there 50 years later and there are still plenty of reasons for protesting

Everything about this place evokes the era before, during, and after the shootings in 1970. The museum, located in Taylor hall, uses sound, video, images, and recorded narratives to track the events leading up to May 4 and the cultural significance of this tragic, traumatic, and unnecessary event. The gallery next door contains exhibits dedicated to the victims that include personal items and recollections by loved ones. The outdoor site is marked by a walking tour and includes the memorial, state and national markers, and much of the original landscape. It is a moving, educational, and inspiring place that should be shared with those who do not recall the turbulent Vietnam era.

I haven't been inside. I think it's good that KSU have left things basically untouched in this area, but have added some informational signage and a nice My 4th memorial.
