A few minutes into the early morning hours of May 15th, Jackson city policeman and Mississippi state police dispersed the students by opening fire in a fusillade that lasted for 30 seconds. Phillip Layfayette Gibbs, a 21 year old pre-law major was killed as was James Earl Green, a 17 year old high school bystander.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, no one was ever held to account for the killings in this tragedy that is all too often overlooked and overshadowed by the events of Kent State.<\/p>\n<p><em>For Uprising, this is your truth professa&#8217; saying it&#8217;s no mystery why they conceal our people&#8217;s history!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program The Jackson State Tragedy Back in the day on May 14th, 1970, students on the campus of Jackson State College in Mississippi gathered for a protest that ended tragically.
