American Heart Association Recognizes Susan Weber for “Living Well” In 2004, Go Red for Women was born as a campaign to raise awareness among women about their greatest health threat – heart disease. Today, it is a movement – one that not only brings thousands of women together in an effort to eradicate heart disease and stroke globally, but also to encourage all women to make a commitment to stand together with Go Red and take charge of their own heart health.

每年的五月四日，人们会在肯特州立大学举行一系列活动纪念1970年5月4日发生在校园内的悲剧事件。就在那一天，俄亥俄州国民警卫队向抗议越南战争的示威学生开枪，造成4名学生死亡，9人受伤。即将到来的2020年5月4日，“五四事件”50周年纪念活动，不仅对肯特州立，对整个美国来说，都是一个重要的里程碑似的一刻。从2019年秋季开始，一直到2020年5月4日，肯特州立大学会举办为期一年的各种形式的纪念活动。本文将通过事实陈述，解答和提出问题等形式展现肯特州立“五四事件”的始末。 背景简介 1970年5月4日，俄亥俄州国民警卫队向肯特州立大学的示威人群开枪，造成4人死亡，9人受伤。枪击事件的影响是巨大的。该事件引发了全国性的学生罢工罢课运动，迫使数百所学院和大学关闭。理查德·尼克松(Richard Nixon)总统的高级助手H·R·霍尔德曼(H. R. Haldeman)表示，枪击事件对国家政治产生了直接的影响。在《权力的终结》（The Ends of Power）一书中，霍尔德曼(1978)指出，肯特州立的枪击事件引发了水门事件，最终摧毁了尼克松领导的政府。除了“五四事件”的直接影响，这起枪击事件还象征着在越战时期严重的，分裂国家的政治和社会分歧是如此的巨大。 自1970年5月4日以来的近30年里，涌现了大量分析“五四事件”及其后果的文献。有些书很快就出版了，提...
