An important future may be in store for an old bowling alley in Orangeburg that was pivotal in the tragic day in 1968 that became known as the Orangeburg Massacre.  

The long-closed All Star Triangle lanes on Russell Street will have a bright future if former SC State museum director Ellen Zisholtz (pictured) has her way. She is leading an effort to restore the bowling alley and make it into a Civil Rights museum. And, yes, people will again be able to bowl there!
