BLACKS & WHITES TOGETHER
On May 4th, 1970, thirteen young Americans were shot down by the National Guard in a shocking act of violence against unarmed students. This sparked the largest student strikes and student protests in history that swept across 3,000 campuses nationwide, punctuated ten days later by the shooting of African American students at Jackson State University.
This student protest in America did not arise from nowhere. It represented an active voice of protest against the terrible and continuing violence against African Americans and the perpetration of one of the most corrupt, violent and terrible wars in US history against the Vietnamese people.
