Steeped In The Blood of Racism: Black Power, Law and Order, And the 1970 Shootings At Jackson State College
Minutes after midnight on May 15, 1970, white members of law enforcement opened fire on students at Jackson State College, a historically Black college in Jackson, Mississippi. Twenty-eight seconds later two young people lay dead, another 12 injured. Based on her most recent book, this talk led by Professor of History Nancy Bristow will situate this event in the broader history of the struggle for African American freedom in the civil rights and Black Power eras, and the ongoing crisis of police violence.
