“If you've studied social justice movements anywhere in the world, you know that young people are the vanguard of activism. They still are."- Robert Luckett, Director of the Margaret Walker Center

On May 15, 1970, law enforcement officers opened fire on a crowd of students at Jackson State University, leaving two dead and at least a dozen others injured.

Fifty-six years later, the Gibbs-Green tragedy remains one of the most painful and defining moments in the university’s history.

While this moment is often remembered for its tragedy, we also reflect on the student response — the unity, activism, and courage to speak out in its aftermath. In their actions, we see a powerful reflection of who they were, and a lasting reminder of who we continue to be.

Learn more about the Gibbs-Green tragedy and its aftermath in Jackson State University: First Hundred Years, 1877–1977, available online and in the campus bookstore.
