- Guardsmen from the South Carolina National Guard direct traffic away from downtown Orangeburg during civil rights protests. Students from Claflin and South Carolina State colleges had recently been protesting an all-white bowling alley that operated near the SC State campus. Governor McNair called members of the state's National Guard to protect the peace and enforce a city-wide curfew.
