From the MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back" for May 4, 2022.
1972, 50 years ago.
"On Thursday morning, students at Northern Illinois University will conduct an anti-war march into DeKalb and will hold a moratorium on classes at the university.
"The march is being held on the second anniversary of the killings at Kent State University and the subsequent death of 15 people in demonstrations at Jackson State and Augusta, Georgia."
The Kent State shootings caused some violent confrontations between students and various law enforcement groups.
