Ohio State University Hillel Faculty Appreciation Tribute for Professor Louis Nemzer

On May 4, 1970, National Guard troops opened fire on demonstrators protesting the Vietnam war at Kent State University, killing four and wounding nine students. Demonstrations spread and the Ohio State University campus was shut down From May 7th to 18th, Ohio. These photos are of Luis Nemzer, a beloved professor and campus leader calming demonstrators later in the month. They are from a tribute written by his grandson and namesake who was a graduate student at Ohio State in 2008. 

(A personal note -- he was my uncle and a wise, kind man. Larry)
