==Aftermath==

In the aftermath of the Kent State riots, students at universities across the United States organized and took part in demonstrations and student strikes, some of them violent, in protest of what happened at Kent State.  One such student strike in [[New York City]] was countered by construction workers supporting President [[Richard Nixon]], which led to the Hard Hat Riot on May 8, 1970 that left more than 70 people, including four policemen, injured and led to six arrests.  On May 9, anti-war protesters descended on [[Washington, D.C.]] and engaged in rioting and lawlessness there in protest of the Kent State shootings and the Vietnam War.  Similar rioting and criminality by protesters on the campus of Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi led to the rioters there being shot at by city and state police on May 15, killing two and wounding 12.  The students who took part in the Kent State riots and other campus student strikes were largely looked at disfavorably and denounced upon returning to their homes, with some disowned by their families.  Nixon himself expressed that the student protesters involved in the anti-war movement were the tools of [[Communist]]s who were organizing the movement.

The protest song "Ohio," written by [[Neil Young]] and performed by his group Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, was inspired by the [[Kent State]] shootings.  A 1981 made for TV docudrama movie, ''Kent State'', was made about the Kent State riots.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082608/ ''Kent State''] at IMDb</ref>
