On this day, 8 February 1968, the Orangeburg massacre took place in South Carolina when police opened fire on Black SC State students, killing three and wounding 27 as Black students protested at a segregated bowling alley - the first student demonstrators killed by police in the ‘60s, and much less well-known than the Kent State killings of white students.

RIP Delano Middleton, Samuel Hammond, Jr, and Henry Smith (L-R) https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1345410695644077/?type=3
