Teenager Mary Ann Vecchio kneels over the body of Kent State University student Jeffrey Miller, who had been shot during an anti-war demonstration on the university campus on May 4, 1970. The protests, initially over the US invasion of Cambodia, resulted in the deaths of four protesters, including Miller, and the injuries of nine others after the National Guard opened fire on students. Nearly fifty years on, newly sourced photos from eyewitness Howard Ruffner are today shared gettyarchive. With many never before seen, the images document what became a terrible watershed moment for America. 📷: Howard Ruffner/Getty Images #kentstateshooting #kentstatemassacre #kentstateuniversity #americanhistory #historyphoto #howardruffner #1970 #photojournalism #reportage #archivephoto #photoarchive #gettyarchive
