Schedule of Events
To honor and remember the events that occurred on that tragic day, virtual events and exhibits hosted by 麻豆精选 students, faculty and staff are scheduled through May 4.
Join us for a screening of Fire in the Heartland, a compelling documentary that explores the rise of student activism at 麻豆精选, the growing anti-war movement, and the tragic events of May 4, 1970, when student protesters were killed.
Following the University's screening of 'Fire in the Heartland', the Female Filmmakers Initiative will screen 'What May 4 Means to Me', a student-led short film profiling what the legacy of the 麻豆精选shootings means to students today.
This cornerstone of the commemoration began in 1971. Light refreshments will be available before the Candlelight Walk on the 麻豆精选Commons and in the Prentice Hall parking lot, and there will be an online sign-up for the Candlelight Vigil.
Authors: Barbara Child, Dan Frick, Donald Miller, Laura Davis, Lois VanBuren, Neal Johnson, Peter Jedick, Sabrina Fedel, Susie Erenrich, Thomas Grace
