Film Night: “The Day the 60’s Died: The Kent State Shootings”
Join us for a showing of the acclaimed PBS documentary, “The Day the ’60’s Died: The Kent State Shootings.”
About the Film:
“The Day the ’60s Died” chronicles the chaotic month of May 1970, when it seemed America was at war with itself. From the students and guardsmen who witnessed the Kent State shootings to a young G.I. in the Cambodian jungle, how did the events of that turbulent spring affect who these people became? How have the shockwaves from these events reverberated into the present? During May 1970, frustration and anger split American society apart and we still live in the aftermath of that rift. “The Day the ’60s Died” is an important story to be told now as our nation grapples with the growing divide in how Americans see their nation and each other.
