Remembering students with commitment

In all the depressing excitement, I forgot that 4th May was the anniversary of the Kent State Murders. My institution's Students' Union refuses to join local protests against Nazis. Kent State students turned out to protest their country's destruction of Vietnam, and four of them were shot dead by the National Guard, which fired randomly on the crowd.

Here's Ohio, the song Neil Young released a few days later to commemorate this evil act. Full story here.
