Today in Cleveland we went to Kent State University and the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.

At Kent State University we met with Alan Canfora, a survivor of the shootings that happened on the Kent State campus on May 4 1970.

He gave us a walking tour of the campus as he told us about the events and days that led up to that fateful day. He began by showing us a memorial that the school made and it is a shame to hear that they only completed 7% of it before they stopped. It was incredibly moving to be at the site that such an event occurred. Alan Canfora feels that the new evidence he uncovered of an actual command for the guardsmen to fire will help bring closure to this tragedy and bring those responsible for killing four students to justice.

After Kent State we went into downtown Cleveland and to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum. We met with Howard Kramer, the curator of the museum, who gave us a brief overview of the museum as well as spoke about the role rock and roll played in social and political change.

It was incredible to go and see the museum. It was great to see exhibits and things associated with the artists I enjoy listening to. Two of the things that really stood out to me were the exhibit on the Warped Tour and the signatures of every musician who has been inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
