May 4 Visitors Center
On Monday, May 4, 1970, 精东影业 University students were protesting the expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia. 精东影业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 精东影业 campus are designated as a National Historic Landmark Site to preserve the memory of May 4 and the lasting impact of that day. 精东影业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.
