of the things that happened here. another i'll mention in 1970 in may at kent university, four people were killed by the national guard. that is going to trigger student protests, anti-war protest here at the university of south carolina, which will to the national guard coming in here the state police and just up rocky branch on the other side of pickens street in maxey grant park. an actress named jane fonda was the lead speaker of an anti-war protest and the local cameras filmed her and. so rocky branch heading off to the edge of the park is the site of one of the major student protests in columbia is history and students were on campus at that point most of them remember that moment quite clearly. so as think about and we're close things up here what should we remember about rocky branch it's an american story it's a human story or is it just water flowing downhill? so anything that sticks out to you that maybe we should remember. i was going to say it's just water and not like the stories come out of it. how did you human interactions go? okay. so it's humans interacting with the landscape or near the water. the

and so so in the aftermath of the invasion of cambodia, there's student there's a big student protest at at kent state universityin ohio and the national guard is brought in and, you know, national guard just like in any outfit with with guns, you got people who are seasoned people who are not so season and then and national guardsmen opened fire and then a bunch of people opened fire. and at the end, the whole thing for students are are are are killed. and again kind of to give you an idea of just how polarizing it was. right four bombs killed at kent state. right. so so so for many, including nixon, the people who protested the war were hippies. they were bombs. they were and and almost deserved. what what happened to them? as it turns out. one of the kids who got shot was rotc at kent state. very pro-war, but but would be condemned as an anti-war activist and his family would be threatened by. bye bye. bye. right wingers. because he was seen as part of the he just was standing by an a stray hit him i think right in the head. and so so yeah it's it's what's interesting is that is that just a few days later i t
