May 1970- Kent State, Brooklyn College - War, what is it Good For?
Manage episode 490387349 series 3634955
Well folks, looks like we're at it again!
Let's climb into our wayback machine to May 1970. 4 college students were killed on the campus of Kent State University in Ohio and America was embroiled in the Vietnam War- they say (sadly) that every American generation has its own war and mine was the Vietnam War.
Anyway, this is my story of me as a Brooklyn College upper sophomore, my dear dad's advice to me and my tiny involvement when Brooklyn College students surrounded the administration building to protest that war.
Not being political here, just remembering a time 55 years ago that echoes right up to today.
When are we going to learn???
