    This is the smaller of the two period Hippie Peace Flags I have acquired - but what makes this special is the connection to Kent State. I would be a freshman in college the next year when the massacre happened in May 1970 and it had a strong effect on a high school student living in a secluded area like Northern New England. How could this happen? What does it mean going forward? The whole Four Dead in O-hi-o thing... This 18" long x 11.5" artifact it is now framed and on my wall. I have added the provenance and the iconic photo of the shooting - which i do not own - to put the peace flag in perspective.
