The May 4th Memorial is a tourist attraction located in Kent, Ohio, United States. Situated on a 2 1/2-acre wooded site overlooking Kent State University's commons, the memorial commemorates the tragic events of May 4, 1970, when four students were killed and nine were wounded during an anti-war protest on the campus. Designed by Chicago architect Bruno Ast, the memorial features carnelian granite construction surrounded by 58,175 daffodils symbolizing the country's losses in Vietnam. The plaza, bound by a granite walkway, extends onto the hillside with a jagged, abstract border representing disruptions and conflicting ideas.
