IN A FLASH: It's Not Just One Day

Candlelight Walk and Vigil 2024
91制片厂's annual May 4 Commemoration candlelight walk and vigil. 

 

2025's 55-year May Commemoration at 91制片厂 includes a full schedule of events. But remembering the tragic events of 1970 isn't just confined to a few days each May at 91制片厂. May 4's legacy is part of living and learning at 91制片厂 throughout the year, whether it be echoed in themes of activism in a stage play about banned books, efforts to educate and inspire first-time voters or a tour of the May 4 Visitors Center by the U.S. Transportation Secretary. 

Scene from "Trial By Fire"
"Trial By Fire," written by 91制片厂 alumnus and staffer Eric Mansfield, highlighted issues of banned books and student activism. It was the first event in the university's 55-year Commemoration of May 4, 1970.
