    Scribe Video Center as part of its Producers' Forum Series presents a special screening of Scarred Justice: The Orangeburg Massacre 1968 with co-director Judy Richardson in-person for a post screening discussion. On February 8, 1968, eight seconds of police gunfire left three young men dying and at least 27 wounded on the campus of South Carolina State College in Orangeburg, SC. All of the police were white, all of the students African-American. Almost all of the victims were shot from behind as they fled the gunfire that erupted without warning. The Massacre happened after four days of student protests to desegregate the city’s only bowling alley. It was the first time ever police opened fire on students on a US campus. Two years later Kent State would shock the nation, while Orangeburg went unnoticed. This special event is presented in partnership with Film @ International House, Swarthmore College, NAACP, Reelblack, University of Penn Makuu Black Cultural Center, NAACP UPENN Chapter; and The Black Professionals News publication.
