During his lifelong effort to better understand what occurred on May 4, 1970, and its aftermath, Alan Canfora assembled the largest known private collection of May 4 documents and materials.
Now in its fifth year, the lecture and luncheon will be held in the Kent Student Center Ballroom and will include a special remembrance of Lewis.
