| 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. |
