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.

Art can be a positive healing experience, allowing reflection, encouraging discussion, and bringing people together. Join the May 4 Visitors Center for a vigil lantern making workshop led by Jennifer Schwartz, Assistant Professor of Art Therapy at Ursuline College. Customize a lantern, conveying your own message of peace and remembrance, to use during the May 4 Vigil on Saturday evening. This event is a drop-in experience but supplies are limited and available on a first come first serve basis.
