An undergraduate student at Kent State University in 1970, Naomi Goelman Etzkin relates her eyewitness account of the May 4 shootings on campus. She describes seeing the National Guard camped and doing practice maneuvers in a football field near her dormitory, Olson Hall. She attended the noon rally on the Commons on May 4 and describes what she observed about the movement and positions taken by the National Guard troops and the tear gas that was used. She describes seeing, from her dormitory window, ambulances arrive and Dr. Glenn Frank speaking to the students who had remained in the Commons. She describes the military jeeps that came to her dorm with men using bullhorns to announce that campus was closed. She was the last resident to leave her dormitory; she describes talking with National Guardmen, who were eating dinner in the cafeteria, about what had happened. |
