That was Then, This is Now: Past and Present Protest on Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State’s Campus

Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State University students protesting various issues by holding up signs

Protest is part of Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State University’s history. From Danny Thompson participating in the Freedom Rides to the Black United Student walkout, protest is in Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State’s DNA. Students on Ñý¼§Ö±²¥â€™s campus used their first amendment right to speak up about issues they care about on May 4, 1970, and though the results were tragic, those students created real and impactful change. Current students continue to be inspired by historic Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State protests and build on the lessons of past generations. What does student activism on campus look like today and how is it connected to the past? This exhibition, featuring photographs by graduate student Jeremy Ritch, looks at current student protestors and social justice groups on campus, tying them to past marches and movements at Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State. 

Exhibit dates: November 5 - March 23, 2025
