About Kent State Truth Tribunal

On May 4, 1970 the Ohio National Guard opened fire on unarmed students protesting America´s invasion of Cambodia. Four students were killed and nine were wounded by the Ohio National Guard. The incident triggered national outrage in a country already divided over the Vietnam War. In the days that followed more than four million students rose up in dissent across 900 campuses, generating the only nationwide student protest in U.S. history. The Kent State shootings have never been thoroughly examined and no person or group has been held accountable for wrongdoing. Five decades later, family members of those killed have initiated the Kent State Truth Tribunal to preserve and honor the stories and voices of those who were there and whose lives have been marked by this tragedy. Taking inspiration from British Prime Minister David Cameron´s apology for the Bloody Sunday killings on June 15, 2010, the Kent State Truth Tribunal seeks official acknowledgment, apology and reconciliation for the May 4, 1970 Kent State massacre.
