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.
