Lange said the SJSU Legacy Path is a self-guided tour where students can pick up a packet of brochures at the Cesar Chavez Community Action Center.
The packet will include a map that leads students around campus and detailed information about sites where historic activism incidents have occurred on campus, Lange said.
"We hope students can come to one or all of these events and take away with them a little bit of empowerment of what they're capable of and open up their mind to be more active in their community," he said.
Some students said they were interested in the event but were not aware of its existence.
"It's great they're doing this because many people didn't know what the statue means," said Julissa Gomez, an undeclared freshman. "But they need to advertise more."
Nicole Cimmarusti, a sophomore television, radio, film and theatre major, said she is the publicity officer of the Campus Village Building B Hall Government but she did not know about the event.
"I'm interested in student activity, and most likely I'll go because it's a school-wide event," she said.
Lange said Smith and Carlos made iconic statements, and A.S. wants people to recognize what they did as SJSU student athletes.
"We want to let students know that these two student athletes are perfect examples of what can be done if you believe in something and put your mind and body into it," Lange said.
