politicalprof:  At Kent State University, May 4, 1970. This was also the date of the only major Vietnam War confrontation at my university: in response to the shootings and deaths and Kent State, students at Illinois State went to the flag pole on the quad and lowered the flag to half mast. Workers building what is now the library and the student union left their work site and raised it back up—among other things, symbolizing the class divide regarding the Vietnam War, in which college students who were exempt from the draft protested the war, while working class people vulnerable to the draft supported it. America in a nutshell.
