1
Just past noon on Monday, May 4, 1970,
2
a squadron of Ohio National Guardsmen opened fire at a loose collection of students gathered across an expanse of leafy lawns and campus parking lots at Kent State University in Northeastern Ohio.
3
Four students were killed.
4
Nine others were wounded.
5
With that, the forces of order in the United States had launched a shooting war against their own children.
6
The May 4th incident at Kent State University was one of those rare events that that seemed to crystallize an entire period in snapshot brevity.
7
It distilled the essence of an age of tumult, the young squaring off against the old, opponents of American policy in Vietnam against the Cold War consensus, or simply the forces of change against the forces of order.
8
Even the most trivial aspects of the event connected to larger developments.
9
The most iconic image of the shootings, student photographer John Filo's photo of Marianne Vecchio kneeling over the slain Jeffrey Miller,
10
captured a 14-year-old girl, invariably described as a runaway, and who thereby symbolized the fraying of the Ballyhoo nuclear family.
11
Vecchio was, the Boston Globe intoned several years later, the quote, symbol of youth.
12
The 60s had its share of these allegorical moments.
13
The fire hoses at Birmingham, Mario Savio on the steps of Sproul Hall, the 1968 police riot in Chicago all captured the period's fraught social dynamics.
14
The Kent State killings, by contrast, were shocking because they happened in the very heart of middle America.
15
True, Kent State was not so politically or culturally inert as many observers then and since have insisted.
16
But that is precisely why the shootings reverberated so powerfully.
17
The counterculture, the anti-war movement, black power, and the generation gap had come even to Ohio.
18
As the iconoclastic journalist I.F.
19
Stone understood, the surprise is not that there is still apathy and indifference.
20
The surprise is that there is so much militancy, so much questioning, end quote, in the most average of average places.
21
There was no stronger evidence that America was exploding at its core.
22
Careful scholars of the shootings are now in wide agreement about what happened.
23
Over four days from May 1st to May 4th, initially peaceful protests against President Richard Nixon's announcement that U.S.
24
troops had expanded the Vietnam War into neutral Cambodia accelerated into what can fairly be called state-sponsored killing.
25
At each step along the way, young people aggressively testing boundaries, challenging restrictions, engaging in political protest ran into ham-handed authorities who overreacted in an effort to impose rules for their own sake.
26
Because of the national uproar over Cambodia, hundreds of college campuses closed as protests erupted over the next two weeks.
27
The atmosphere at Kent was charged.
28
Friday afternoon campus rallies were peaceful.
29
That night, however, students spilling out of the bars in town erupted into a melee that escalated from anti-war chants to dozens of smashed store windows.
30
Someone liberated a fertilizer spreader and threw it through the bank window.
31
The Friday night ruckus surprised hapless university officials.
32
Local leaders insisted that quote-unquote outside agitators and quote-unquote radical elements, long presumed active in the campus area, were to blame.
33
Kent Mayor Leroy Satrum declared a state of emergency in town and established a 6 p.m.
34
curfew.
35
He also appealed to Ohio Governor James Rhodes to send in the Ohio National Guard, the ONG.
36
Rhodes had deployed the Guard more times than any governor in the state's history and obliged without hesitation.
37
already had directed several thousand guardsmen to police a teamster strike in the region.
38
They could spare a thousand for Kent.
39
The ONG units arrived at Kent late Saturday night as fire gutted the campus ROTC building.
40
There's little doubt that students were the arsonists.
41
The guard moved on campus and pushed students from the Central Commons back toward the dorms.
42
Having done so, the Guard's commanders, Generals Sylvester Del Corso and Robert Canterbury, made clear that they recognized no boundaries between town and campus, nor did they acknowledge university officials.
43
Sunday May 3 began quietly.
44
Governor Rhodes, who had been in Cleveland, stopped at Kent on his return to the state capital, Columbus.
45
With Del Corso and other officials in attendance, he delivered an inflammatory speech denouncing those mysterious outside agitators who were going from one campus to another, causing destruction.
46
Rhodes declared they were, quote, worse than the brown shirts and the communist element.
47
We are going to eradicate the problem.
48
Rhodes led Del Corso to believe that he approved whatever measures were necessary to, quote, eradicate the problem, including shoot to kill.
49
Yet he also told University President Robert White not to close the university.
50
That left university officials between unofficial martial law and a campus supposedly going about its normal affairs.
51
In part because of this contradictory situation, what happened on May 4th was a comedy of errors that ended in tragedy.
52
Near noon, Canterbury led some 100 guardsmen onto the Commons to disperse perhaps 500 students who had gathered for various reasons.
53
According to the report of the President's Commission on Campus Unrest, known as the Scranton Report after its chair, William Scranton,
54
some came to protest the presence of the Guard, some were simply curious or had free time.
55
The Guardsmen were equipped with tear gas launchers, gas masks, and M1 Garant rifles, which were loaded with live ammunition, according to guard policy.
56
The guard moved toward the students after firing tear gas volleys, but it was a windy day and the gas blew as gas does along the wind's whimsy.
57
Some students laughed, but the guards pushed most of them up Blanket Hill and down the other side, which issued through a shaded hill along the backside of Taylor Hall.
58
Both groups moved toward a parking lot and a broad field used for football practice.
59
Onlookers and students walking to their next class filled the area.
60
Photographs, and there are dozens thanks to the journalism students coming out of Taylor, show a strange scene.
61
While the guard, gas masks on and loaded rifles ready, marched into the field.
62
Students with their notebooks wandered past piers who were hurling tear gas canisters back at the guard.
63
Some chalked rocks, others jeered the soldiers.
64
Many students described the atmosphere as almost carnival-like.
65
Few imagined that the guard's rifles carried live rounds.
66
As they proceeded across the field, the guard ran into a long fence and had nowhere else to move.
67
Canterbury claimed that having pushed the students from the commons, he decided to go back up over Blanket Hill and return to the front of the campus.
68
As they turned to move, perhaps a dozen guardsmen dropped to their knees and pointed their weapons.
69
Alan Canfora, among the regular activists on campus, waved a black flag at them.
70
They did not to open fire.
71
Instead, Canterbury's men got to their feet and continued back toward Taylor Hall, moving through yet more students who had been collecting along the way.
72
Some of them came within range of rock throwers.
73
They were verbally abused.
74
When they reached the top of the hill, suddenly they wheeled around, and perhaps 20 guardsmen opened fire.
75
Some shot into the air, some plainly in the direction of the crowd below.
76
13 seconds and 67 rounds later, one student was dead, three others lay dying.
77
Nine students were wounded, including Dean Kaler, who took a bullet in his spine and never walked again.
78
The victim closest to the troops, Joe Lewis, was more than 20 yards away.
79
His crime?
80
He gave the guardsman the finger.
81
The nearest fatality, Jeffrey Miller, was unarmed and nearly 100 yards away.
82
Allison Krauss was unarmed and 343 feet away.
83
William Schroeder, an ROTC member, was nearly 400 feet away, as was Sandy Shure, who was walking to her next class.
84
Clearly, none presented a threat to the state of Ohio.
85
ONG leaders, the state of Ohio, and above all Del Corso and Canterbury, had an acute interest in self-justification.
86
Del Corso stoked rumors that the guard had responded to sniper fire.
87
The FBI quickly debunked the quote-unquote sniper theory by concluding simply, quote, there was no sniper.
88
The state claimed that the guardsmen feared for their lives.
89
The FBI suspected that these claims, quote, were fabricated, end quote, after the fact.
90
The state's legal dissembling lasted through a manipulated county grand jury.
91
The 1973 federal indictments of eight guardsmen charged with violating the civil rights of those they shot all were acquitted.
92
In its grudging 1979 agreement to pay $675,000 in civil damages to the victims' families.
93
Rhodes signed a letter of regret.
94
The most serious unresolved questions are whether an order to fire was given and by whom.
95
Some men claimed they'd heard an order, others thought they heard one, and still others explained that they fired because others did.
96
If no order was given, then Canterbury and his fellow officers failed to control their men.
97
If the officers gave an order, then they were directly responsible for the killings.
98
In either case, not even U.S.
99
Vice President Spiro Agnew, hardly a sympathizer with the forces of change, could excuse what happened.
100
In an interview on The David Frost Show later that week, Agnew said that a shooting that is, quote, simply an over-response in the heat of anger is a murder.
101
Thank you.

इस वीडियो के साथ बोलने का अभ्यास क्यों करें?

“The Kent State Massacre” वीडियो एक गहन ऐतिहासिक घटना पर आधारित है, जो न केवल अमेरिकी राजनीति और समाज के लिए महत्वपूर्ण है, बल्कि यह आपके अंग्रेजी बोलने के कौशल को सुधारने का एक अनूठा अवसर भी प्रदान करता है। इस वीडियो का संवाद छात्रों के राजनीतिक विचारों और सामाजिक आंदोलनों के संदर्भ को जीवंत रूप में प्रस्तुत करता है। जब आप इस वीडियो को सुनते और बोलने का अभ्यास करते हैं, तो आप न केवल सही उच्चारण और अंतर्राष्ट्रीय संदर्भ को समझेंगे, बल्कि आप अपनी सोचने की क्षमता को भी विकसित करेंगे। यह अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करने का एक प्रभावी तरीका है, जो आपको वास्तविक दुनिया की समस्याओं के बारे में बोलने का आत्मविश्वास देगा।

संदर्भ में व्याकरण और अभिव्यक्तियाँ

वीडियो में कुछ महत्वपूर्ण व्याकरणिक संरचनाएँ और अभिव्यक्तियाँ हैं जो आपकी भाषाई समझ को गहरा कर सकती हैं:

  • “opened fire”: यह सिर्फ एक क्रिया नहीं है, बल्कि एक निश्चित संदर्भ में तनावपूर्ण स्थिति को इंगित करता है। इस प्रकार की अभिव्यक्तियाँ आपको उन स्थितियों में बोलने में सहायता करेंगी जहाँ तीव्रता और उत्तेजना व्यक्त करनी हो।
  • “there is no stronger evidence”: यह एक सशक्त अभिव्यक्ति है जो किसी बात के समर्थन में ठोस तर्क प्रस्तुत करती है।
  • “some chanted slogans”: यह आपको किसी समूह के अंदर सामूहिकता और गुस्से को व्यक्त करने में मदद करता है।

इन अभिव्यक्तियों का अभ्यास करने से आप अपने shadow speech कौशल में सुधार कर सकते हैं और विभिन्न संदर्भों में इन्हें इस्तेमाल कर सकते हैं।

सामान्य उच्चारण के जाल

वीडियो में कुछ शब्द और वाक्यांश ऐसे हैं, जो उच्चारण के लिए चुनौतीपूर्ण हो सकते हैं:

  • "firehoses": यह शब्द कुछ लोगों के लिए कठिन हो सकता है। इसे सही तरीके से उच्चारण करने के लिए, शब्द को छोटे हिस्सों में विभाजित करें - “fire” और “hoses”।
  • "militancy": इस शब्द का सही उच्चारण कई छात्रों के लिए भ्रमित करने वाला होता है। इसे “mil-i-tan-cy” के रूप में उच्चारित करें।
  • "curfew": ध्यान दें कि इस शब्द में ‘r’ और ‘f’ का मिश्रण उच्चारण महत्वपूर्ण होता है। इसे “cur-few” के रूप में स्पष्ट रूप से बोलें।

इन उच्चारण बाधाओं पर ध्यान केंद्रित करके, आप अपनी भाषाई दक्षता को और अधिक कड़ा कर सकते हैं। नियमित रूप से shadow speak का अभ्यास करें ताकि आप न केवल सुनने में, बल्कि बोलने में भी दक्षता प्राप्त कर सकें।

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
