Abstract
This thesis will illustrate how two different groups interpreted the shootings that occurred on the Kent State University campus May 4, 1970, in the subsequent twenty years. The first group, comprised of the university administration, the National Guard, and Ohio State officials, represents the official view of the events which holds that neither the state nor the university or guard was culpable for the May 4 deaths.
