Four Dead In Ohio

Most of us of a certain age have seen this historic photo of Mary Ann Vecchio kneeling over the body of Jeffrey Miller during the Kent State shootings by the National Guard, where four students were killed.

Recently, in the Washington Post, there was a story about the making of this historic image and a whole lot more! It was an article that I really found fascinating and thought I would therefore share it here.

Here is the link that will bring you to the article about the making of a photo that remains burned into the minds of most people my age. We should know what happened so that, among other things, it never happens again.

And of course the most famous song that it generated. If you remember, the background imagery may bring some tears to your eyes.
