Kent State University is most known for the Kent State Massacre that occurred on May 4, 1970. This is when students were protesting the Vietnam War by rallying on campus. The rallies got out of hand when the National Guard began opening fire on students in the crowd. Four students were killed while nine others were wounded, and one of them was paralyzed. A nationwide reaction occurred in response to this because hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed because of student strikes that took place throughout the country. This raised awareness for protest against the Vietnam War.
