Back then students were protesting the War in Vietnam. They showed great courage in the face of National Guard soldiers who had their weapons pointing at them. Even the all-American surfing dudes, The Beach Boys, got into the protest.

In addition to the deaths of Phillip Lafayett Gibbs, and James Earl Green, two students who died in Mississippi, four student were slain at Kent State University in Ohio. They were Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer, and William Schroeder. They inspired Neil Young to write, Ohio.
These songs help drive the protestors to victory ending the war. Now, we are once again facing a government hell-bent on not hearing the pleas of the people. Fascists are trying to take over our country. People by the millions are turning to the streets to protest. May good, once again, triumph over evil. Mel Brooks knows a few things about fighting Fascists.
