Kent State Sign by yentlski
is this the same Kent State as in the Crosby Stills & Nash song?

@jayberg Yes it is. It is unfortunately the site of the Kent State shootings. It is in a small rural peaceful town, very hard to believe anything like that could have happened there.

This looks a lovely sign for the University and well cared for! Did you salute as you went past the MACC?

Jim, I still remember the day of the shootings--I was pregnant with my first child. Such a sad time. Lovely sign.

@yonnie I was not old enough to understand it then, but living less than 20 miles away, I grew up in the shadow of not only the school but the shootings

Kent is a lovely campus and so is the rural countryside around it. It's sad that it will always be remembered for the shootings which I too remember vividly. A student from this area was among the victims. It was said she was shot because she was tall and thus I suppose an easy target. Tragic.

Nice capture! I'm sorry you couldn't be there.
