- Description:
- Wayne Seal, press secretary to South Carolina Governor Robert McNair is interviewed about the situation in Lamar. Says that the Lamar Schools will reopen the following day (March 10). Seals says that no groups will be allowed to congregate near the schools. These comments refer to 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.
