From Homestead to Higher Education: Ann Reichling's Journey
Ann Reichling, now 72, graduated from high school in 1970 during a period of significant unrest on college campuses.
“I was on track to go to college, but when Kent State happened, I said ‘I’m not going’,” she recalls, referring to the Ohio university where four students were killed and nine injured after National Guards shot into a crowd of people protesting the war in Vietnam.
