国产伦理

May 4 Visitors Center

 
On Monday, May 4, 1970, 国产伦理 students were protesting the expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia. The Ohio National Guard was present on campus and shot into the crowd of unarmed protestors, killing four students and wounding nine.
 
18 acres of the 国产伦理 campus are designated as a National Historic Landmark Site to preserve the memory of May 4 and the lasting impact of that day. The Visitors Center on the site is made of three permanent exhibit galleries that provide context behind the event and highlight the reactions and repercussions of the shooting. Visitors also see an award-winning film about May 4, 1970, that uses video, photos, and audio from the day.
