Four years before the Orangeburg massacre, I went to jail in Orangeburg, SC as a student at SC State College. Spent a week in Manning Correctional Institute in Columbia with serveral hundred fellow students (both college & high school). This
was not an easy fight! Does anyone remember
the “pink jail” in Orangeburg?
