Kishwaukee College Lowers Flag for Kent State in 1970


From the May 27, 2020, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1970, 50 Years Ago.

"After a two-week delay, the Kishwaukee College Board of Trustees last night acted on a petition  presented to them by the students requesting that the college flag be dropped to half-mast  for one day in sympathy  of the death of four Kent State students, killed in recent disturbances on campus.

"Some 112 names of students and faculty were on the petition requesting the flag lowering."
