460 shots in 30 seconds! You may have noticed a banner bearing the words Long Live the Spirit of Kent and Jackson State during the May 4 commemoration, but do you really know what happened at Jackson State?  This special, director led tour of the May 4 Visitors Center will focus on the experiences of Black college students, from Black United Students and Kent State Council on Human Affairs sit in at the Corner Bar to the shootings at Orangeburg and Jackson State. We’ll dig deep into the details of the Jackson State shooting and how it differs from the shooting here at Kent State. We’ll conclude with a moment of silence for Phillip Lafayette Gibbs and James Earl Green.
