Summary
| Description |
English: Victory Bell at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, United States. The bell was first acquired by Alpha Phi Omega in 1950 from the Erie Railroad and the structure was built in 1952 behind the original Student Union adjacent to the Commons. Originally, it was rung to celebrate KSU athletic victories. It became associated with the Kent State shootings in 1970 as the bell was frequently used as a signal to begin political rallies and protests. As part of the annual May 4 commemorations, it is rung every May 4th at 12:24pm, the exact time of the shootings. The bell was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010 as part of the Kent State Shootings Site. |
