DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_167404" align="alignnone" width="700"] 
 Photo by Bob Christy[/caption]\nFri 5/2-Sun 5/4\nIt’s been 55 years and 
 many of the students who were on the Kent State campus on May 4\, 1970\, h
 ave passed away\, but others\, including current students\, are keeping th
 e memory of that day alive — and with government aggressiveness toward l
 egal immigrants AND U.S. citizens on becoming worse\, that day in the past
 \, when the National Guard fatally gunned down four young people in a grou
 p of demonstrating students likely seems more urgent that it has any time 
 recently. “The Power of Our Voices” is the theme for the May 4 Commemo
 ration and those voices are being loudly raised now.\nFriday evening inclu
 des a lecture and book discussion. The annual candlelight walk and vigil\,
  started in 1971\, takes place at 11pm Saturday.\nOn May 4 itself\, those 
 who want to remember the events of that day—those killed (Allison Krause
 \, Jeffrey Miller\, Sandra Scheuer and William Schroeder) and those wounde
 d (Alan Canfora\, John Cleary\, Thomas Grace\, Dean Kahler\, Joseph Lewis\
 , Donald Mackenzie\, James Russell\, Robert Stamps and Douglas Wrentmore)
 —will gather on the Kent State Commons at noon for remarks and the ringi
 ng of the Victory Bell with a moment of silence at 12:24pm\, the time the 
 shooting took place. There will be music on the Commons prior to the comme
 moration and guided tours of the site at 3pm.\nGo here for more informatio
