The shootings shocked the American public and triggered a nationwide wave of campus strikes and protests. To many at the time, Kent State seemed an unlikely site for the bloodiest confrontation in a decade of campus unrest--a sprawling public university in the American heartland, far from the coastal epicenters of political and social change.Culture, politics, and the cold war.Kent State Shootings, Kent, Ohio, 1970Vietnam War, 1961-1975Protest movementsCivil rights movementsOhioKentCivil rights demonstrationsOhioKentAnti-war demonstrationsOhioKentWorking classOhioKentStudent movementsOhioKentStudentsAttitudesKent State Shootings, Kent, Ohio, 1970.Vietnam War, 1961-1975Protest movements.Civil rights movementsCivil rights demonstrationsAnti-war demonstrationsWorking classStudent movementsStudentsAttitudes.378.771/37Grace Thomas M.1950-1243713MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPAzTeSBOOK9910153233303321Kent State2884939UNINA
