Abstract

This article articulates the personal, professional, and systemic legacies of the Greater Kent State Era, a time of dramatic upheaval across America's campuses. The author was a graduate student at Kent State in 1970 and recounts her personal reaction to the shootings of May 4, including "library exile," as well as the era's legacy regarding Black Studies, Women's Studies, and Ethnic Studies‐as measured in the scholarship produced by the Greater Kent Slate generation.
