On April 23, 2009, from noon to 1:00 p.m., Cecil Williams, Orangeburg author and photographer will discuss his books and art. Williams is the author of Orangeburg 1968 which documents one of the least remembered chapters of America's Civil Rights history; the Orangeburg Massacre. On February 8, 1968, over 150 students gathered on the campus of South Carolina State University to protest the segregation policies of the town's only bowling alley. Amid escalating tensions, students protested by building a bonfire on the edge of the campus. State Highway Patrolmen fired live ammunition into the unarmed group in an attempt to end the protest. Killed were Henry Smith, Samuel Hammond, both students at South Carolina State University, and Delano Middleton, a 17-year-old Wilkinson High School student. |
