Alan Canfora (born August 21, 1949) was a student at Kent State University, Ohio, when he was shot and wounded in the right wrist by Ohio National Guardsmen in the Kent State shootings on May 4, 1970 while protesting the invasion of Cambodia.

In 1989, Canfora spoke with students at Brattleboro Union High School, in Brattleboro, Vermont, about his experience at Kent State University. This video is an edited version of that talk.

During the talk Canfora references an account of May 4, 1970, by "Michener." The book referenced is titled, Kent State: What Happened and Why, a non-fiction monograph written by novelist James A. Michener, published in 1971. This was one of the first books published about the events of May 4, 1970, and continues to be one of the most well know.
