Today is the 40th anniversary of the Kent State shootings, where Ohio National Guardsmen opened fire on protesters at the campus on May 4, 1970, killing four. As far as I can recall, it was the first time since the Civil War that US military troops fired on fellow Americans.
I learned recently that the famous Pulitzer Prize winning photograph by John Filo showing Mary Ann Vecchio screaming as she kneels over the body of Jeffrey Miller was actually retouched. The original photograph shows a fence post directly behind her that was removed in the published version.
