May 4 Commemoration Events and Exhibits

On May 3-4, 2024, Kent State University will hold its annual commemoration honoring the memory of May 4, 1970, a tragic day when the Ohio National Guard fired on Kent State University students during an anti-war protest on campus, killing four students, wounding nine students, and sparking a turning point in American History. Through looking back, Kent State also looks ahead with awareness of the many ways in which the legacy of May 4 is evident in the university today and in what’s to come. “The Power of Our Voices” theme will continue to inspire this year’s May 4 commemoration.
