Have you already toured the May 4 Visitors Center, but want to know more? Here’s your chance to experience the Center in a completely new way! Engage with May 4 Visitors Center staff and special guests for a thematic tour of the Center and National Historic Site.


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 tour 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.
