May 4

The colors of spring have arrived on the Kent Campus. 

Since it first opened 10 years ago, the mission of the May 4 Visitors Center has continued to evolve.

Slowly, the Kent Campus is seeing its greenery return. 

Advancing the legacy of May 4, 1970, a tragic day when the Ohio National Guard fired on Kent State University students during an anti-war protest on campus, killing four students, wounding nine students and forever changing the lives of countless others, the university will hold its annual commemoration on May 3-4.

Professor Emeritus Laura Davis, co-creator of the May 4 Walking Tour and May 4 Visitors Center, and a witness to the 1970 Kent State shootings, shares personal reflections on singer David Crosby's ties to Kent State.

Singer-songwriter David Crosby, who performed the iconic "Ohio" with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young following the events at Kent State of May 4, 1970, passed away at the age of 81. 

Deadline reports that a new movie inspired by the shootings at Kent State University on May 4, 1970, is in the works and will be released next year. 

Daffodil Hill became a part of the May 4 Memorial that brought both sides together, but groundskeepers struggle to keep it thriving now.
