Title	Robert White Speech Regarding Kent State University Shootings
Subject	Military Ohio Civil Liberties Education Vietnam War Universities and colleges Kent State University Kent State University Riot, 1970 (May 4) Students Riots Demonstrations Ohio. National Guard
Place	Kent (Ohio) Portage County (Ohio)
Description	Kent State University President Robert White held a press conference on May 20, 1970 to express his sympathies to the families of the students who were killed at the campus on May 4, 1970. White outlined his plans for a commission to investigate the incident. At the end of his speech, White answered questions from reporters. The transcript of his speech is 13 pages and measures 8.5" x 11" (21.59 x 27.94 cm). Kent State University in Kent, Ohio was placed in an international spotlight after a tragic end to a student demonstration against the Vietnam War and the National Guard on May 4, 1970. Shortly after noon on that Monday, 13 seconds of rifle fire by a contingent of 28 Ohio National Guardsmen left four students dead, one permanently paralyzed, and eight others wounded. Not every student was a demonstration participant or an observer; some students were walking to and from class. As a result of the shootings, the university was closed for nearly six weeks.
