SUMMARY:50th Recollection of Gibbs-Green: MLK Convocation
DESCRIPTION:In the spring of 1970\, college and university students across the country protested against the Vietnam War\, racism\, gender oppression\, and a host of other issues\, at times leading to violent and deadly confrontations with police and national guard troops. On May 14th\, 1970\, students at Jackson State College staged a demonstration condemning racial discrimination in Mississippi and the killing of four students at Kent State University by the Ohio National Guard on May 4th. The demonstration continued into the night. Shortly after midnight on May 15th\, police\, who claimed they had been shot at\, opened fire on students gathered outside Alexander Hall\, a campus dormitory. When the shooting stopped\, 21-year-old Phillip Gibbs and 17-year-old James Green lay dead. twelve other students were injured. \nThe 50th anniversary commemoration of the shooting on what is now the campus of Jackson State University will include five major programs. The Student Government Association\, Gibbs-Green Commission\, and Gibbs-Green  Oral History Project developed the programs which will coordinate with Kent State University to link the events on both campuses. \nJanuary 17 Event: \nThe first event is the Martin Luther King\, Jr. birthday convocation and For My People awards ceremony scheduled Friday\, January 17th in the Rose McCoy auditorium and JSU Student Center Ballroom\, respectively\, where Phillip Gibbs and James Green will be remembered and honored.
