United States bombs Viet Cong sites in Cambodia, leaving numerous youth Americans to protesting. Among the education during the 1970's, Universities in particular, had numerous social movements of students opposing the war. The anti war movement produced many protests, such as the Kent State Massacre, which killed four students who were gunned down by Guards attempting to stem the anti-war demonstrations.
An interview with Alan Canforah, a former injured Key State Ohio Student:
In response to the killings, the Hard Hat Riot occurred. On May 8, 1970, high school and college students began storming New York City's City Hall in protests to America in Cambodia and the Vietnam War. Roughly 200 construction workers began attacking the students in response - leaving many injured.
