Racial Injustice
The Orangeburg Massacre: A Tragic Chapter in the Civil Rights Movement
November 15th, 1968, marks a somber anniversary in the struggle for racial equality in the United States. On this day, the Orangeburg Massacre took place on the campus of South Carolina State University, a historically Black college. This tragic event saw three unarmed Black students killed and 28 others injured when state highway patrolmen opened fire on a crowd of peaceful protesters.
@TheNewsOwl Interesting how this wasn't big news, but the whites killed at Kent State a year and a half later were.
