 41 YEARS AFTER THE ORANGEBURG MASSACRE

 Though one of the most violent and senseless moments of the Civil Rights era, the killings of three black college students (27 more were wounded) on the South Carolina State University campus41 years ago has long been an orphan within the movement's narrative history. Other confrontations took on national significance, but Orangeburg simply disappeared beneath the chaos of 1968, the most tumultuous year since the end of World War II.  Even today, the story struggles to be heard.

 The 2009 observance of the massacre, both in Orangeburg and in Charleston, will be marked by the premiere of /Scarred Justice: The Orangeburg Massacre 1968/, a 56-minute documentary film.
