- Description:
- Superintendent Clifton Saverence comments on the extent of damage to the school year. Medium shot J. P. Strom, Chief of State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) explains the strain placed on his department by the need to keep officers at the schools for security. Schools had closed following the Lamar riots on March 3, 1970, when approximately 150-200 white men and women rioted in a violent response to court-ordered desegregation in Lamar, South Carolina. Rioters attacked buses carrying elementary to high school aged children, fought with law enforcement officers, and overturned two empty school buses that students had recently fled.
