- Thomas M. Grace, survivor of the shootings at Kent State University and author of "Kent State: Death and Dissent in the Long Sixties", delivers a presentation entitled, "Life and Death at Kent State: 1960s Student Dissent as a Working Class Movement."

He talks about the protests in opposition to the Vietnam War that occurred at Kent State in 1970, the shots fired by Ohio National Guard troops and the economic climate in the U.S. which he says helped to fuel an "anti-war mentality" among college students during that time.
