SOUTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY
(Continued from other side)
South Carolina State has been called "at least symbolically, the most important educational institution in black Carolina since its founding." Students were also active in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s, taking part in sit-ins, the Orangeburg Movement of 1963-64 seeking desegregation of downtown businesses, and the Orangeburg Massacre in 1968.
Erected by South Carolina State University, 1997 |
