The exhibit examines the legacy of May 4, 1970, through the life and activism of Dean Kahler, one of nine students wounded during the Kent State shootings. Paralyzed by a bullet fired by the Ohio National Guard, Kahler transformed personal trauma into a lifelong commitment to disability rights, peace, public service, and democratic engagement.
