Summary
Six months removed from "The Summer of Love", the United States was a powder keg of change, violence, courage, and citizens fighting for their beliefs. South Carolina was no different and in the town of Orangeburg, students from the then South Carolina State College voiced their displeasures of wrong doings in the community. A week of tumult, unrest, and violence all culminated on the night of February 8, 1968 on the campus lawn.
