Glad that our work, including Curtis Kassor, Lauren Pernetti and I were able to found the effort through the May 4 101 presentation.
Really well-done exhibit, and a very moving presentation. It should really be open to the general public and not just current students.
The park around the building is full of black squirrels. It was fun to hang out with them. Right in the parking lot you can see the exact spots where the 4 students fell and you can also see the bullet hole in the metal sculpture. It's still there 50 years later and there are still plenty of reasons for protesting
Everything about this place evokes the era before, during, and after the shootings in 1970. The museum, located in Taylor hall, uses sound, video, images, and recorded narratives to track the events leading up to May 4 and the cultural significance of this tragic, traumatic, and unnecessary event. The gallery next door contains exhibits dedicated to the victims that include personal items and recollections by loved ones. The outdoor site is marked by a walking tour and includes the memorial, state and national markers, and much of the original landscape. It is a moving, educational, and inspiring place that should be shared with those who do not recall the turbulent Vietnam era.
If you think you know what happened at Kent State, this place will probably change your mind. The 8 minute video, alone, is worth the visit, and the quality and production values of all elements of the museum are exceptional. The controversy of that day is also present but the information given clearly sticks to the facts, leaving judgement to the viewer. If you take the time to carefully read and understand, plan on about an hour in the museum, plus another 30 minutes looking at the outside spaces where the events happened. A powerful place.
