As Ohio's longest-serving governor, James A. Rhodes left an indelible imprint across the state with the highways, colleges, airports and industry he championed. But his legacy was overshadowed by his decision to send National Guard troops to Kent State University in 1970 to quell an anti-war protest. Four students were killed when the troops opened fire. Rhodes, who served 16 years as governor, died Sunday at Ohio State University Medical Center of complications from an infection and heart failure. He was 91.
James Rhodes will be remembered for many things. Today, Statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen begins a three-part series on Rhodes' accomplishments as governor, and on James Rhodes, the man. |
