KENT, Ohio (WOIO) - Kent State University is holding virtual events Tuesday to mark 51 years since the Ohio National Guard killed four students and injured nine others during an anti-war protest.
At noon, the university is premiering a video that commemorates the nine students who were hurt when soldiers opened fire in 1970. The video will highlight the new markers installed on the May 4 site on campus, one for each of the wounded students. The nine markers are in addition to the four markers, installed in 1999, that remember the four students who were killed.
