[Late 20th century Americana:] The Girl in the Kent State Photo

In 1970, an image of a dead protester immediately became iconic. But what happened to the 14-year-old kneeling next to him?  (John Filo/Getty Images from )  By Patricia McCormick , The Washington Post ,  April 19, 2021 Excerpt: [jb: from a well-researched (but perhaps a bit too long) article] :  Last May, when Mary Ann Vecchio watched the video of George Floyd’s dying moments, she felt herself plummet through time and space — to a day almost exactly 50 years earlier.

They don’t really come from health and stability but from families that are fractured and a culture that is crude and violent, from hypermedia and videogames, from a society that doesn’t cohere. They don’t come from something boring and solid like the cop on the beat 50 and 100 years ago did; they don’t come from a world that went out of its way to teach them manners, morals, faith. How to act.  All the cops, and the perps, they came from us. image (not from article) from
