   Alan Canfora Alan Canfora was a student at Kent State University, Ohio, when he was shot and wounded in by Ohio National Guardsmen in the Kent State shootings on May 4, 1970 while protesting the invasion of Cambodia.
   
   Canfora was one of nine students injured in the shootings at Kent State that day. Of these, Canfora has been the most outspoken about the Kent State shootings and the United States government's role in the event and in what he calls the cover-up of the incident in the decades since. He has been involved in public speaking and maintains a website on which he has published excerpts of his forthcoming book on the events at Kent State from 1967 to 1970.
   
   An audiocassette that has sat in a Yale library for nearly two decades may hold the evidence explaining why Ohio National Guard troops shot into the crowd of protesters. The recording, recently made public by Canfora and the May 4th website, seems to capture the sound of someone ordering the Guardsmen to fire.
   
   Alan Canfora is still very active in politics and is the chairperson of the Barberton Democratic Party since 1992. Alan Canfora is also the Director of the Kent May 4 Center, a non-profit, tax-exempt, educational charity, since 1989.
