Exhibition Opening and Talk: The Legacy of Peace Marshals at Kent State with Molly Merryman, Associate Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies.

Jerry Lewis was professor of sociology at Kent State University from 1966 to 1996. He witnessed the May 4 shootings as a faculty marshal and dedicated much of his career to researching, memorializing, and lecturing about the events of May 4, 1970. This exhibit explores Lewis’ career as a teacher, academic, faculty marshal, collector and chronicler who was driven by his dedication to May 4 and passion for its preservation.
