Thx, I had never heard about this. Cowards kill unarmed ppl, yet some ppl still teach this ideology to their kids. Frustrating

I never heard about this massacre. Sad.

As a resident from Orangeburg SC I advised every Orangeburg native to educate your kids on this history the schools in south Carolina should make this mandatory knowledge and history for public schools across the nation

I've been to Orangeburg SC, the resident that I know for almost 50 years, has never mentioned this tragic injustice. Stop the silence about racism, it didn't die. Racism, hatred and bigotry is not silent it KILLS victims daily. May God have mercy on innocent, killed by racist extremist.

1968 was a traumatic year in so many ways and this was one most egregious crimes perpetrated by southern racists. This and many other events like it should be taught in school and never forgotten.

I appreciate your bringing this to light. Many remember Kent State, but this got very little coverage. So many lost for civil rights.

Where are these murderers now?! 🤬

Had no idea about this incident. I was a teen during Kent State shootings. It was shocking that people were shot on their campus by National Guard. I could not wrap my head around that. This is equally shocking because of the similarity but also that I and I assume many, many others were not aware of this incident.

Rip to the young men and I'm born in '68 and just learning about this horrible story 😭😭😭😭😭

thank you Amy I will not forget

I had never heard of this before today , I wonder why this never was heard of before. So shameful AMERIKKKA

Ain't American law enforcement history tragic.

One of the most shameful parts of American history 😔

Thank you sharing this and all of the other informative reports that you publicize. I have never heard of this atrocity before today.

Thank you Amy for putting this history out needs not to be forgotton

It's revealing that this was never taught in American History in schools.

My goodness - this is the first I've EVER heard of this. Breaks my heart!

Racism is growing up in South Carolina and never being taught this.

I never heard of this it's crazy that this is not exposed to the masses after all of these years

God bless the survivors and may our nation honor the victims and all people who experience hate crimes.

Thanks for this historical truth, more people need to know how brutal the recent past has been for all of the world's oppressed and disadvantaged peoples.

Lying is their legacy and modus operandi.

The WICKED shall not go unpunished.

They also built a freeway over black home owners land in Orangeburg, SC. I find what they do to black people beyond disgusting.

Wow, this is the 1st I've ever heard of this massacre, thank you, Sirs, for your sacrifice for civil rights in the struggle

America should speak up loudly and admit your egregious, oppressive ways, instead of resurrecting new lawmakers to bury your sinful, hate-filled past and present!

My family moved from Europe to Georgia in 1968. The conversations ( at school) were that students needed to keep separate, according to color, so “ no one would get hurt”. The whitewashing of the the news and gross misinformation lead to such fear and instability in our school and neighborhood. When watching this information, I am thinking-back and putting the puzzle pieces of my memory together. Uncomfortable. Thank you Democracy Now for the truth and excellent journalism.

So sad...what a evil and wicked system run by Satans spawns.

These stories need to be told to all Americans. America don't want these stories to be told. America want these stories to just go away, NOT! WE STILL NEED ANSWERS.

To think how not so long ago this was. My father was fighting in Vietnam and my mother was just graduating from high school.

Each and every one of those police should have done serious jail time. Perhaps there are still some still alive to prosecute.

This ignited class consciousness amongst the younger working class particularly college students, and brought about revolutionaries such as Fred Hampton.

For every single person who has ever shed innocent blood and never repented, they will have the Almighty Righteous and Holy God to deal with. There won’t be a law, pardon, or escape from His judgement👑

So we as a people need our own charter schools to give truthful clarity to our history: THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY

I was raised in South Carolina and was never taught this.

I wonder, what the number is for innocent black lives taken by the hands of police officials in the United States from begging of time until now.

The racial undertones in South Carolina is exactly why the state is not up do date in luxury, wealth, and overall technology as a whole. That state in particular is my least favorite for many many reasons. This part of history is eye opening.

I wish our children could see more of this how everything they enjoy today was fought for and bleed for by strong black women and black men who came through almost impossible times . Out manned out gun . They had the media and the system of justice on their said . We had Jews and Whites that walked with them as we do today , it's awesome when we unite for right people with true hearts and determination courage

This is news to me! Thanks for sharing.

I don't remeber this in 1968. Wasn't on MSM that I remember.

My first time hearing about this. I only learned about it because the son of the leader of the protest at the time ( Sellers) was being interviewed on the breakfast club so I decided to look it up... this needs to be talked about more because it highlights where we were back then in comparison to how far we have come today which is not very far. Justice is not for us.

thank you for the truth

Yes they want to erase this history.

Thanks for this.

Since the United States had no statue of limitation on murder why the officer today not charge that gave the order to fire and charged with murder

Thank you!

Thank you very much!!!

Unbelievable that I'm 56yrs old and just today I learned about the Jackson State and Orangeburg massacres. Growing up I knew of the Kent State incident, but of course no idea about these incidents had happened. I guess this what Make America Great Again means.

Criminal

Make you want to cry, :(

My mother grew up in St Matthews South Carolina, been going to Orangeburg my whole life.

God is all about self defense he is a just God and he is a righteous guy and he hates bullies

All those victims got no justice. Those pice that killed those kids probably still living and people don't know what they did back then when they were young. Don't forget what they did to the black panthers who were sleeping. The young black panther who came our with his hands up nut was still shot to death. He was q7 years old. I don't think the president did enough to safeguard those students.

Excellent. TYVM D.N.

You meant 3 young men!!!

Still nothing has changed til this day.

I'm new I'm not just talking about the ones that had the fingers on the trigger

😞 ...

Love you for bringing up black history I know about

This happened to you I was born and my earthly father wanted me to play football for South Carolina state

I'm from Saint Matthews right next door to Orangeburg never ever heard of this wow

WHEN I STUDY AND HEAR STORIES LIKE THIS, IT SICKENS ME TO SEE HOW TODAY OUR WORST ENEMIES ARE OURSELVES 😭🤔.💔💔💔

Did 33 dead instead of 3?

Shameful America.

They didn’t teach this in school, very informative

I didn't know about this oooh boy

Never let the hatred Die never Always remember the atrocities.

Reparations now!

i AM A aDMIRER OF aMIE AND HOW SHE MAKES THE NEWS REAL FOR US INDIGENT PEOPLE OF COLOR AND ALL OTHERS WHO SPEAK UP FOR DEMOCRACY IN THIS LAND. PLEASE CONTINUE YOU WILL BE BLESSED BY MY HEAVENLY FATHER PEACE MY FAMILY

😢

Never heard this before. Just like the Tulsa OK incident. America is good at hiding dirty underwear.

I've never heard of this,that's why we as parents need to teach our kids out history,quit being lazy.

Lambs to the slaughter

They don't treat ISIS that bad!

This is the first I have heard of this history being that true history isn't taught in most public schools. I would not oppose a ban on history being taught on personal convictions until the age of consent due to the fact that it has the potential to cause great emotional and psychological suffering, also homocidal and suicidal ideations. I do however embrace sex education as children are curious and want to know all they can know as it is also of personal interest while they are discovering their own ideas, thoughts, feelings, and desires. Most children had only the honesty of animals expressing sexuality to them and adults teaching lies and fantasy about history. There should be honest non-shamimg, guilt free, and fear free sex education for young people so they are better able to understand themselves and others, to also develop a tolerance and acceptance of the diversity of human sexuality, personal variation, and cultural differentiation. History is what should fall under parental guidance. It resembles such gross, cruel, and hideous personifications of individuals and groups of individuals who acted and spoke in ways that are and were profoundly inhuman. Monsters whose contribution to society and humanity was and is a nightmare. It is history which is dirty and not sex. The dirty adult section of viewing and reading section should be the restricted area where the history is kept. Young people should not be ignorant of history, nor should they be lied to about it, but they should be of a mature age to be able to discern about how much trauma they can comfortably absorb before it starts to negatively impact their physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual being. History's unending theme has at it's core, decided upon by mainly adults, heartache, heart break, cruelty, barbarism, intolerable suffering, injustice, indifference, merciless cruelty, starvation, torture, imprisonment, isolation, and executions. Humanities victory over the dark forces is always a great ending to a horrible story, but it is the horror which takes up the bulk of the story, which takes nerves of steel and a cast iron gut to get through. Some bleed blue and remain unfazed by any of it. Most people bleed red and some of these can not stomach what has taken place and are confounded by the very notion of humanity or intelligence.

03:10 The shaved face of this guy makes me jealous, it looks to shiny, kind of similar to Michael Jordan

Serious FEEBACK on your Mics today Amy.

I live in Charleston I wish I knew that democracy now would’ve this close.

Bonfire?

😔

Nothing but demons did this....,& to this day still in 2022

Thank you. Most definitely least talked about. 😔

We Are "Massacred", Everyday!!!

You got some audio feedback

Hurry up about Bolivia damn it

I am from the UK, I have heard of Kent State University but not this massacre or the one at Jackson State University but I have heard of them watching now.

Matthew 5:21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

Whenever I watch documentaries like this. I'm always asking myself. Why didn't my people just build their own

My God!

🤔She says 3 dead, but the interviewed survivors says 33 died. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Such a devastating, horrific tragedy… (Like many others like it) Praying for all who endured this type of SICK, racist, MONSTROUS CRUELTY & VIOLENCE caused by the IGNORANT, RACIST white-supremacy in our history & present day!!💔 This behavior & twisted way of thinking is utterly disgusting & the most ignorant thing I’ve heard of or ever seen.. Thank you for sharing all the factual history that was/still is left out of our history books!!.. 🙏❤️🙏

Much of the civil rights history of SC is back page overall because the hotbed protests were Ms,Al,Ga, there were sit-ins and protests in Rock Hill,SC, the Friendship 9 and the now defunct Friendship College yard is a memorial family picnic place.

Good job of telling this story Amy Goodman because I had never heard of this story either.

WOW never heard of this killing cold blood murder as ALWAYS and we as black people do nothing to protect or fight back to these people who murdering us, them, we. It's never going to end until we all stand up together.

This why videos like these historical true stories need to be told , because this information won't be taught in our public schools system today January 31 , 2023 🤔 .

🙏🏼💐💐

.

And times have changed, the American police would never do anything like this today, there is no more racism nor racial hate in America.

Jesus Christ 😢I just don't know why they hate us
