Kent State Shootings: Digital Archive

Audio Recording: Sit-in at Rockwell Hall (Afternoon) and Forum Discussion (Evening), May 5, 1971

Description Audio recording by Bob Carpenter of the end of the overnight sit-in at Rockwell Hall and a forum discussion that took place in the evening. One of the group's primary aims was to disrupt ROTC activities on campus. Discussion includes the group talking through continuing strategies, whether or not to meet with KSU administrators, enact an economic boycott, or try to connect with other students in classes to join their efforts. Much of the audio, particularly during the panel forum, is difficult to hear due to low volume level and ambient noise.
