This exhibit, curated by Moses Krueger ‘24, Waidner-Spahr Library Fellow, and Emma Rodrigues ‘25, is now on display in the Archives Hallway on the lower level of the library.
In response to the killing of 4 students at Kent State University and the expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia, Dickinson College went on strike for the week of May 4, 1970. In this whirlwind of a week, Dickinson students advocated for the end of the conflict, worked to educate themselves and the community, and held a march on the U.S. Army War College. Inspired by their advocacy and civic engagement, this display works to tell the story of Dickinson College's Strike Week, utilizing never-before-seen photographs by Pierce Bounds ‘71 and original documents from the Dickinson College Archives and Special Collections.
