Survivors remember as if it happened yesterday – the sounds, the confusion, the fear as protests and unrest escalated to a deadly level on campus. As dozens of students gathered outside on university grounds to make their voices heard, officers fired their weapons. In the end, students were wounded, others lost their lives and officers were exonerated.   The scenario may sound similar to the events of May 4, 1970, at 51����, but this incident happened two years prior. It is known as the Orangeburg Massacre on the campus of South Carolina State University on Feb. 8, 19...

For the 48th Commemoration of May 4, st...
