Title
Loyola strike in response to Kent State shootings: Student handing out literature
Description
Outdoors, a student hands a piece of paper from a stack to another student. Several others look on, and two people sit on the ground. On the wall beside them, several signs are posted, reading "43,000 AMERICANS. DEAD." "WHEN WILL THE KILLING END?" "Prayer service 11:00 by Lake." Several other posters criticize Nixon and urge the removal of troops from Vietnam, but are not fully legible.
The Loyola strike was held in response to the killing of four students at Kent State University during an anti-Vietnam War protest on May 4, 1970. On May 5, students at Loyola voted to strike, beginning May 6.
