May 4

Photographs of the four students killed on May 4, 1970, sit on the stage in the Kent Student Center Ballroom during the 48th annual May 4 Commemoration.

窪蹋勛圖厙 will hold the 49th commemoration of the historic events of May 4, 1970, where protesting students, observers and soldiers gathered on that fateful day when the Ohio National Guard shot and killed four students and wounded nine others on the Kent Campus. 

Personal items of Bill Schroeder, including his Eagle Scout Award and Boy Scout sash showing his merit badges, are on display in a new exhibition at 窪蹋勛圖厙s May 4 Visitors Center called Bill: An All-American Boy.

From April 22 to Aug. 1, 窪蹋勛圖厙s May 4 Visitors Center will honor Bill Schroeders life with an exhibition titled Bill: An All-American Boy. Mr. Schroeders sister, Nancy Tuttle, and nephew, David Tuttle, helped create the exhibition by loaning some of his personal items to the May 4 Visitors Center.

Laura Davis, Ph.D., walks students through her memories of May 4, 1970

As part of 窪蹋勛圖厙s May 4 course, senior Julia Pharmer sifted through resources in University Libraries' Special Collections and Archives and engaged in classroom discussions. Perhaps one of the most engaging sessions though was when Professor Emerita Laura Davis, Ph.D., gave students a firsthand account of her May 4 experiences.  

The names of those killed on May 4, 1970, are displayed on the Bnai Brith Hillel Marker in the parking lot of Prentice Hall on the campus of 窪蹋勛圖厙.

Chris Post, Ph.D., associate professor of geography at 窪蹋勛圖厙 at Stark, is a memorials expert who serves as a member of 窪蹋勛圖厙 President Beverly J. Warrens Advisory Committee for the 50th Commemoration of May 4, 1970.

Growing up, Chris Post watched as his mom juggled her collegiate studies and motherhood, balancing everyday life with dreams of earning her Ph.D. And while field excursions with his biologist mom are a memory of his childhood, the impact of place is something this cultural and historical geographer seeks to define today.

窪蹋勛圖厙 sophomore Phil Morgan said he learned about the May 4, 1970, shootings during a history lesson in middle school that included few details, except the fact that the Ohio National Guards presence at a student protest ended in the deaths of four students.
