«A 14-foot Don Drumm sculpture on the Kent State University campus, in the line of fire at the time of the shootings on May 4, 1970, was pierced by a bullet. Drumm, who was called in during the investigation to help verify the direction from which the shot was fired, decided that the damaged sculpture should not be repaired, and that summer he built a memorial at Bowling Green State University, using the same metal that he had used for the Kent piece. The new work was titled 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters'.»

Each year on May 4th I write about the shootings at Kent State University.

The long and the short - the Ohio National Guard fired, indiscremently, into a group of unarmed college students. Thirteen students were shot. Four died. Two of the four dead were not even involved in the protest.

I’m not going to write a history lesson. I’m not going to write about my thoughts. But, I will urge everyone to never forget your voice. Use your voice to be on the right side of history.

Below is Sandra Scheuer. She, along with Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller and William Schroeder, was mortally wounded and died on May 4th, 1970.
