"KENT 4" reappears on The Commons Sept. 10, 2006 RETURNED! 1 RED METALLIC SCULPTURE After several years, the Kent 4 sculpture by Alistair Granville-Jackson has made its reappearance on our campus as silently as it left. The sculpture was originally located near Bowman, Stopher and the Art Building, but is now visable along the Art Building next to the Commons. This new location gives a haunting reminder of the loss of individual life on May 4, 1970. --Read about the history of this sculpture. Media reports by year: Media reports have marked many of the major milestones and events in the history of remembering May 4, 1970. The May 4 Task Force has begun a long process of locating as many of these reports as possible to make them available to students and others who are interested in remembering these historic events. Many years are not available yet, please be patient. Please visit each year below to visit a summary of that year's media reports:
* The
Daily Kent Stater, the independent
student newspaper at Kent State University is not currently indexed,
neither is the local newspaper The Record Courier. We are currently scanning the pages of 35 + years of these papers for related articles via microfilm. This is obviously a huge undertaking. Your patience is appreciated. |

| The May 4th
Task Force
was founded by Kent State students and victims of the May 4 shootings. Alan Canfora, Robbie Stamps,
and Dean Kahler were three
of the charter members. The Task Force felt
that the truth about what happened in May of 1970 had yet to be told
and that the lessons to be learned from the tragedy should be part of a
continuous and living history. Since 1975 it has been the purpose of the M4TF to raise the level of awareness of students, faculty and the general public about the May 1970 shootings and the history of subsequent related events. |
