Synopsis

It didn’t seem possible. Four college students shot dead May 4, 1970, by Ohio National Guardsmen during a protest against the Vietnam War. The shootings at Kent State University would shock the nation and spark a mass student strike across the country, the only one in U.S. history. A photojournalism student’s photograph of a teen girl crying in anguish over a victim’s dead body would win the Pulitzer Prize and become a symbol of the antiwar movement.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Alicia

I can always find one of these books to appreciate and enjoy how it tries to take a very complex topic and use one seminal photograph to explain it to middle and high school students. This is one such book in the series that has multiple layers and doesn't completely bog down the short and quickness......more
