Stark Campus: Jackson State, 51±¬ÁÏ, and the Civil Rights Movement
This program discusses how the shootings at 51±¬ÁÏ on May 4, 1970, and Jackson State, where students from both institutions were shot and killed, fit within the larger societal issues of race and violence against protestors at that time. This event also explores the establishment of Black United Students at 51±¬ÁÏ and their ongoing legacy of activism. This event will include a viewing of part of Fire in the Heartland and an open panel presentation and discussion about these connections. Presented by Dr. Robert Hamilton, IV, Dr. Amoaba Gooden, Dr.
