May 4, 2025, The Kent State Student Shootings Occurred 55 Years Ago Today.
I was almost 16 and lived close by and this has affected me my entire life.
May 4, 2025 The Kent State Student Shootings Occurred 55 Years Ago Today.
My dad was an engineer for TV and radio and we only lived around 35 miles away. I was almost 16 and this incident has affected me for the last 55 years.
It is hard to believe that college students were killed due to peaceful war protests.
"On this date 55 years ago, May 4, 1970, Ohio National Guard members fired on student protesters at Kent State University, killing four students and wounding nine others. The students were protesting the escalation of the Vietnam War into Cambodia."
Protests at Ohio State
I had wanted to attend Kent State. I remember seeing miltia at our high school and how afraid we all were. This changed the lives of many and I think about current protestors and current politics. Of course many of us and and the families relive this every year.
It is unfortunate that this is not remembered by current news.
I remember this every year and recall the protests very clearly. I noticed that there are plenty of current protests across the US but I have not seen coverage. I guess I missed it.
I believe that current events and political climate can affect many children and others as I was affected, 55 years ago and annually, therafter.

Another topic is that the President was on Meet The Press today and I suggest that everyone try to watch it as I found it quite revealing.

Anyway, I hadn't planned on posting today but was inspired to share.

Ethical Consumerism
Boycotts have seen repeated success and played an important role in ethical consumption since the movement to boycott South African products during Apartheid in the 1980s.
Over a dozen organisations lead the boycotts on this list, including the BDS movement (a Palestinian campaign against Israeli apartheid), Peta (targeting animal exploitation), and our campaign against Amazon's prolific tax avoidance.
Inclusion in the list does not necessarily mean endorsement by Ethical Consumer. Please contact usif you would like to suggest a boycott for inclusion.
