1967 and 1968 stand apart as two very different years during the 1960s. In someways they were part of a continum, or an ongoing process, but in other ways they represent a rising action and a climax. They represent optimism versus gloom and despair.

Photographer John Filo was a senior at Kent State University when anti-war demonstrations rocked the campus. When the National Guard began firing at student protesters, Filo began shooting pictures, narrowly escaping a bullet himself.

As he continued to document the horrific scene, a girl running to the side of a fallen student caught his eye. Just as she dropped to her knees and screamed, Filo snapped a photograph that would later win the Pulitzer Prize and become one of the most memorable images of the decade.

Write a paragraph with 2 illustrations describing what happened at Kent State University and why it remains a symbol of the Vietnam War era today.
