Bowling Alley PSA

Aaliyah and I created a PSA for the All-Star bowling alley. The bowling alley is in the process of being redone. Ellen Zisholtz is in charge of re-doing the All-Star Bowling Alley that was a part of the Orangeburg Massacre. Click Here to Listen to the PSA . Aaliyah and I are so excited to see how Ellen Zisholtz transforms this building.

Bowling Alley Class Visit

My classmates and I had the pleasure of visiting the All-Star Bowling lanes while it is in the process of being refurbished. The Orangeburg Massacre was on February 8^th, 1968, and it changed the community.  The Orangeburg Massacre happened after discrimination at this same bowling alley in 1968. After many students were denied entrance they decided to protest. This protest led to the killing of Samuel Hammond Jr., Delano Middleton, and Henry Smith.

Ellen Zisholtz decided to bring the bowling alley back to life by refurbishing it. We had the chance to talk to Ellen Zisholtz, the owner of the All-Star Bowling Lanes. She has received many grants in order to complete this huge project. I am very excited to see the finished product after talking with Ms. Zisholtz about her ideas. I had the honor to ask her these questions below.

Question 1: Mrs. Zisholtz what does it mean to be able to refurbish this and reopen it for the community?

Question 2: When did you first learn about the Orangeburg massacre and why were you so interested?

I also interviewed my classmates, Aaliyah Felder and Summer Grey, here at South Carolina State about their thoughts on the bowling alley

Question 1: When did you first learn about the Orangeburg massacre and why were you so interested?

Thank you everyone for tuning in for today's blog post. Also, a very special thank you to Ellen Zisholtz for allowing me and my classmates the opportunity to see the bowling alley before it is finished.
