“Lynch Street: The May 1970 Slayings at Jackson State College”

Amid a wave of antiwar protests in May 1970, National Guardsmen shot and killed four white students at Kent State University in Ohio. One night ten days later, dozens of Mississippi lawmen lined up in front of a women’s dormitory at a Black college and opened fire, riddling the dorm and leaving two students dead.
