Closeup view, 1960-1979

<strong>Exhibit labels:</strong>[1]Resolutions Regarding the Shootings at Kent State University (1970). The killing of four students at Kent State University on May 4, 1970 shocked colleges and universities across the United States, and the University of Toledo was no exception. Unlike some other institutions, however, the University remained relatively calm in the immediate aftermath of the shootings. A voluntary moratorium was announced – making classes optional for the next two days – and mass meetings were held daily for the next two weeks. There were also resolutions, such as these from the College of Law and Faculty Senate, respectively.[2] University Students' Reaction to Jackson State Shootings (1970). On May 15, 1970, city and state police opened fire on students at Jackson State (an historically Black university), killing two and injuring several others. Feeling that the University of Toledo administration was not as responsive to the incident as it was to the Kent State shootings, some Black students demonstrated along Bancroft Street and blocked the entrance to University Hall. Student representatives later presented President Carlson with a list of proposals: the creation of a Black Studies program, hiring of more Black professors, and increased enrollment of Black students (including graduate students).
