It has been more than half a century since the National Guard opened fire on students protesting the Vietnam War on the campus of Kent State University in Ohio, killing four and wounding nine others. The brother of Jeffrey Miller, one of the four students fatally shot, attended a remembrance on the campus this weekend.

Russ Miller talks to host Robin Young about why he continues to attend the annual events, about his brother and about the protest movement.
