Thanks. A good remembrance. As a fellow Ohioan, I couldn’t help but return to your piece when I saw our Governor send Guard troops out to D.C. at the behest of his boss, Don the Mafia Donnie. DeWine should have remembered his Ohio history. But Rs these days don’t GAF about history, unless they wash it and bleach it of anything that detracts from their fascistic fascinations.
Someone is bound to get killed somewhere with all those guns mixing with all those people. It’s the absolute wrong thing to do, and 55 years later, an Ohio Governor still hasn’t learned or just doesn’t care.
I was a senior in high school in Riverside, CA in May 1970. I remember the student body gathered on our quad to listen to guest speakers, a totally student-led happening. The Admin played it "smart", and "allowed" students to leave class, sit on the lawn, gather in solidarity, and listen to speakers. The feeling in the air in those days will never be forgotten in MY life.

And yes, I'm older than dirt.
Haha! And good dirt can grow many things!
My wife was in junior high in Livermore. She said they did the exact thing you describe.
I certainly will remember that day -- probably for the rest of my life.
(Where do you teach?)
University of South Carolina Aiken - been there over 30 years
I'm in Charleston!
Wow - small world! You guys getting ready for Debby?
It is, indeed! We are, as best we can. Sandbags at the doors, and plans to stay home for the next two days. The downpour has begun.
It's been cloudy all day here - the rain just started. On my Substack Notes, I posted a picture of the Coburg Dairy Cow with a rain jacket on.
Stay safe! 🌧️ 🌧️
LOL!! You, too.
