Plenary Session • Saturday, 4:00-5:30 pm Inequality and Injustice: Battles Fought and Lessons Learned Richland Library, 1431 Assembly Street
In 1968, Orangeburg, South Carolina was the site of one of this nation’s most traumatic law enforcement assaults on peaceful efforts to bring equality and equal justice under the law to South Carolina and the nation. Fifty years later we have experienced much backlash to the freedom fights of the 1968, including an historically unprecedented war on crime, a rolling back of school desegregation mandates, an increasing gap in income, and a rise of radicalized attacks on black and brown citizens alike. This roundtable of local and national experts on inequality and injustice will reflect on the importance of history and on how we might use the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the 1968 Orangeburg Massacre to make 2018 more equal and more just.
