South Carolina: The March for Equality
Manage episode 326989392 series 3335349
In this episode, “The March for Equality,” historians and experts help us explore how African Americans in South Carolina, and their allies, began peaceful protests in the late 1950s and into the 1960s, when the state ignored new federal legislation calling for integration and equality. To learn more about the stories and places you hear about, you can see the markers where students held their sit-in at McCrory’s in Rock Hill, where protesters sang “We Will Overcome” at the Charleston Cigar Factory, and where the Hospital Worker’s Strike began at present-day Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. In Orangeburg, you can visit the Cecil Williams South Carolina Museum on Civil Rights or the monument on the campus of South Carolina State University that memorializes students killed in the 1968 massacre.
