February 8, 1968, a date we'll never forget. Listen to @ashlei_stevens discuss the #OrangeburgMassacre, which occurred when a Civil Rights protest at South Carolina State turned deadly. The incident began when local students from SC State & Claflin gathered on February 6, 1968 to protest the segregation of Black patrons at the nearby All Star Bowling Alley. The following night protests resumed, and 15 people were arrested. The third night, February 8th, as students gathered on the SC State campus, all-White SC Highway Patrolmen blatantly opened fire on about 200 unarmed Black student protestors. Three students were shot and killed by the police: Freshman Sammy Hammond was shot in the back; 17-year-old high school student Delano Middleton, whose mother worked on the campus, was shot seven times; and 18-year-old Henry Smith was shot three times. At least 28 protestors were shot and wounded, mostly in the back or side as they fled the assault. All nine officers were acquitted, and only one arrest was made as Cleveland Sellers was falsed charged with “inciting a riot”. This event became one of the most violent episodes of the Civil Rights Movement, yet it remains one of the least recognized... #Orangeburg #SCSU #CivilRights

On this day, February 8, 1968, South Carolina State Troopers opened fire on students protesting racial discrimination in Orangeburg, SC, killing three and injuring 28. It all started with a segregated bowling alley, something that shouldn’t have still existed in 1968. Nearby SC State College (now SC State University) students took the lead in demanding the bowling alley desegregate by leading sit-ins and protests. Tensions were high as the police presence grew in response to these actions. On the night of February 8th, 200 students gathered on SC State campus to protest the racial discrimination and violence of the last few days. Chaos erupted as police started firing into the crowd when a shot from a deputy to “calm the crowd” startled police as they thought the shot came from protesters. Three young men lost their lives: Henry Smith, Samuel Hammond, Delano Middleton. Over 28 others were wounded as they fled. No officer was convicted. This event was the first time police killed students on their own campus, two years before the Kent State massacre. The tragedy did not gain much national attention and has been largely forgotten and suppressed. Today we remember and stand with the brave protesters in the South who stood up and continue to stand up for racial justice in the face of state violence. #BlackHistory #BlackHistoryMonth #LaborHistory #OrganizeTheSouth #Orangeburg #CivilRights #History #OnThisDay
