A professor of Journalism and Technology at Kent State University in 1970, Richard G. Bentley discusses his recollections of the events surrounding the May 4, 1970, shootings on campus. He mentions his role as a member of the Faculty Senate and as a faculty marshal and describes the events that he witnessed preceding the burning of the ROTC Military Science Building. He taught an advanced photography class on the morning of May 4, 1970, and his class of 24 students spent the morning photographing the events taking place in the Commons area, but he was not in the Commons during the shootings. He describes picking up his children at the University School on campus later that day and his memory of hearing military helicopters flying over the city of Kent. |
