Black Student Movements: Orangeburg, Kent and Jackson State 1968-1970 is an exhibit which is part of the May 4th 50th Commemoration Events at Kent State University. In conjunction with its preceding counterpart, curated by Cara Gilgenbach, Professor and Head, Special Collections and Archives, Kent State University Libraries, it focuses on the student activism at three campuses: South Carolina State College (now University) in Orangeburg, South Carolina, Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, and Jackson State College (now University) in Jackson, Mississippi. While each institution and geographical region had its own unique history, culture, and approaches to activism, all three would become victims of state violence and murder against students and student activists. Showcased in this exhibit is the activism of those Black students at all three campuses and images of the shootings which occurred there. While the focus of the shootings at Kent State University has historically been on the anti-war activism of the students, this exhibit seeks to frame the activism in a larger political, social and cultural context, examining the civil rights struggles of the time and the self-determination of Black students in particular. At Kent State, specifically, there is also a focus on the involvement of Black students in all aspects of the broader student activism which occurred on that campus, demonstrating that Black students were engaged in all levels of student activism, not just those confined to civil rights issues.
