    DESCRIPTION:
    Kent State University Massacre
    1971 Pulitzer Prize, Spot News Photography, John Paul Filo, Valley Daily News and Daily Dispatch.
    Spring 1970, Student activists tear up campuses across America. Things are quiet at Ohio's Kent State University until police break up a rowdy beer bash. Twenty-four hours later, 800 students demonstrate on the university commons. Someone throws a lighted railroad flare into the ROTC building. Firefighters arrive. Students hurl rocks and cut hoses. The building burns to the ground.
    When photojournalism student John Filo shows up for classes on Monday morning, there are 500 National Guard troops on campus. Disappointed that he missed the weekend action, Filo grabs his camera and heads for a student demonstration scheduled on the commons. The campus bell rings. The rally begins. Soon. National Guardsmen appear and order the demonstrators to disperse. Students shout "Pigs off campus!"' They throw rocks. The Guardsmen form two lines and tire tear gas canisters into the crowd. The students throw more rocks. The Guardsmen retreat up a hill. At the top. the troopers suddenly kneel, aim and fire.
    Filo thinks they are shooting blanks. Then he sees a bullet hit a metal sculpture and smack into a tree. Around him. students fall to the pound. A boy lies in a puddle of blood. "A girl came up and knelt over the body and let out a God-awful scream. That made me click the camera."
    Thirteen students are injured. Four die. Eight troopers are eventually indicted in the killings. No one is ever convicted
    Fine quality, 5x7 photo on premium glossy paper. Borderless
