Mary Mosher has been around Kent just about
all of her life and was also an activist and resident at Tent City. I have included some
of the photos she took of everyday Tent City Life. Click on Mary Mosher to
go to her photo page. I have included names where they were noted on the back of her
photographs. All had to be color corrected or enhanced in response to the ravages of time. |

When I put out the call
for people to submit memorabilia on Tent City and the Gym Struggle I inadvertently sent an
e-mail to Kent and Ravenna's Record-Courier. It went to the editor, Roger DiPaolo, who in
1977 was doing his internship at the newspaper while pursuing his journalism degree at
Kent State. In Roger's own words "I moved a box full of gym dispute memorabilia
to four apartments and my own home and held onto it for 20 years until I got an ultimatum
from my wife to either toss it or find a good home for it." Well, it found a good
home in KSU's May 4 archives and Roger has given us permission to publish whatever we
choose from this collection. Click on Roger
DiPaolo to go to his submission page. |

The Truth Demands Justice was
the newspaper published by the May 4 Coalition from April 10, 1978 till May 4, 1978. I am
attempting to digitally recreate all four issues which means typing all the articles and
scanning the photos and graphics. The articles are typed verbatim, typos and all. The
views expressed in the articles are those of whoever wrote the article. When I am done
typing an issue or a page the links below will connect you to the front page of that
issue.
