Today in Labor History May 14, 1970: State police confronted anti-war demonstrators at Jackson State University, Mississippi. Shortly after midnight, they opened fire, killing two African-American students and wounding twelve others. No cops were ever arrested or indicted. This occurred eleven days after the massacre at Kent State. A repeat seems eminent today, with the ongoing pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses and the violent assaults against them by police and Zionist vigilantes, and the calls by several politicians for the National Guards, and Donald Trump’s calls for student protesters to be deported.
