The events of that extended wkend remain vivid. Coming from a military family oozing with common sense, my father's words reminded me that when the tanks roll in-roll out and so I did that Sunday. Michener's book, containing many of my friends and acquaintances caught the essence of that fateful time, but not the entirety.
"Most importantly, this forum has a chance to make the world remember once more what happened May 4. Though Kent State hasn't forgotten, sometimes it seems the world has - and that's extremely unfortunate. If a lot of students attend tonight's forum, it could show people that May 4, and the lessons it taught us, are still relevant in today's world.
So we urge you to go to the forum tonight. One hour of your time could ensure that Kent State's history is never forgotten."
May 4 is an important event and should be remembered.
