Today in Peace and Justice history on February 8, 1968

Three black students were killed and 50 wounded in a confrontation with highway patrolmen at a South Carolina State rally supporting arrested civil rights protesters. Orangeburg’s only bowling alley, the All Star, was still segregated years after the Civil Rights Act 1964 had outlawed discrimination based on race in such public accommodations. http://bit.ly/VLl5PM
