We want to shine a light on a horrific event that you might not even know about, but you

should.

The Orangeburg Massacre.

The South Carolina State University campus decided the 1968 Orangeburg Massacre, one of

the most violent least remembered events of the civil rights movement.

In 1968, in the tiny city of Orangeburg, home of South Carolina State, police opened fire

on a group of black protesters who were rallying against a bowling alley's owner, a man who

refused to let in black patrons, like this man, Cleveland Sellers.

Cleveland Sellers is now 78 years old, and he was one of the protesters that evening at

the bowling alley.

You hear one officer firing, and then you hear all the rest of them.

And when I started to move back, I got hit.

80% of the students were shot in the back in the butt.

So they were never charging the officers like the law enforcement and the government has

led everybody to believe.

The Massacre also changed the course of sports in South Carolina, forever.

Those killed two South Carolina State athletes, Henry Smith and Samuel Hammond Jr., and 17-year-old

high school student Delano Middleton.

And now, 55 years later, even those who survived that night, survivors like Cleveland Sellers,

they're still searching for answers.

Well, the truth has been told they will never be able to say that race relations in South

Carolina is near perfect.
