IN A FLASH: Commemoration and Community

Tears, hugs, happy reunions and solemn remembrance marked the 53rd Commemoration of May 4, 1970. Donald Scott Mackenzie (center), one of the nine students wounded in the tragedy, walks with Kent State University President Todd Diacon (right) and Amy Reynolds, dean of Kent State's College of Communication and Information (CCI). 

Mackenzie rang the Victory Bell on Kent State's Commons, which is a tradition in the university's annual commemoration.
