- Description:
- Scenes near a riot in Lamar, S.C. in which white protesters opposed to integrating Lamar High School overturned several school buses carrying black children to the previously all white school. The protesters, mostly white women, also threw bricks and other objects at students and school employees. In a related incident South Carolina National Guardsmen dispersed a large crowd of white protestors that formed along the road to the school to block buses. This photograph depicts South Carolina National Guard members patrolling near the school after crowds had dispersed.
