Connecting Today's Kent State Students To The Lessons Of May 4, 1970 Kent State University

Dr. Roseann “Chic” Canfora was an eyewitness on May 4, 1970, and her late brother, Alan, was one of the students wounded when Ohio National Guardsmen opened fire on students demonstrating against the war in Vietnam.

Canfora is currently a Professional in Residence, and Assistant Professor of Journalism at Kent State, where she also chairs the May 4 Presidential Advisory Committee and the May 4 Commemoration Committee.

Listen now, as she talks with Jeanne Destro, about how the University is gearing up for their annual May 4 remembrance, and what she is doing to help today's students understand and relate to the tragic lessons learned when four students were shot, and nine were wounded, on May 4, 1970.
