Answer:

The Orangeburg Massacre.

Explanation:

• Even after the federal implementation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, there were certain racial discrimination and atrocities occurring in some parts of the country.

• One such incident took place in a bowling Alley in Orangeburg, South Carolina where the owner refused to implement the federal law of desegregation at his bowling alley.
• Few students started protesting against the policy of the bowling alley on February 5, 1968 and by 9th February, the protest escalated to hundreds of protesters.
• Situation worsened and the National Guard troops were ordered to take actions which eventually resulted in the The Orangeburg Massacre.
