Bakari Sellers Instagram – I always say February 8, 1968 was the important day of my life although nearly 20 years before I was born. On Feb. 8, 1968, 28 students were injured and three were killed — most shot in the back by the state police while involved in a peaceful protest in Orangeburg, South Carolina. One of the by-standers, was my dad, Cleveland Sellers. He was shot anf arrested for inciting a riot and sentenced to a year in prison, he was the only person to do time.
Injustice left mothers without their sons, and the pages of this country’s history stained red with blood. History books call this the Orangeburg Massacre.
