@@abandonedcentral it is, but thank you for sharing. Seems like a lot of people didn’t know about it. That’s important and great documentation of some very dark history you’ve brought out into the light.
I will and can't never understand that some people really believe that they are better than others cause of their skincolor.... thanks for sharing with us.
I can’t believe you’re here in SC! Head to downtown Charleston. There’s SO MANY abandoned buildings like churches, schools, etc. that I’m sure you would have no problem getting into.
I have an indrect connection to this whole thing and haven't hear until recently (and I am 37 years old). There are so many other stories that we have not heard about and truly, if not stumbling upon, will not.
@@oshynclair7592 if they honor the tragic history why not. If they reopen it and honor its history, I say support it, because the hitsory will be lost if not. Now if they are simply thumbing their nose at the tragic history, I agree, do not support it.
Thank you for showing us the horrific history that occurred here im pleased that this history hasnt been vandalised and that its being repurposed may the victims rest in peace Thank you once again
Glenn Pierce 1971 & George Pappas 1973. P.B.A. Regional Champions st that bowling alley & 2 National P.B.A. touring pros that were synonymous with the early 70's. Wow, just adds to the history of that bowling alley. Old nostalgic bowling collectibles spread throughout the alley. Would love to attend that auction! Great video for bowling history. Disheartening video from a civil rights viewpoint.
Lot to like about his one, the story and history, the things left behind, even the thumbnail photo of the shoes is really good! The comment about your 'lungs' made me laugh. Enjoyed, thanks!
did anyone else notice at 9:41 the bowling bowl with Harry Floyd's name on it? kinda shocked something of his would have been kept there all these years after everything that happened.
Crazy thing.. I never knew this story or anything about it until recently. My family recently closed (very recently sold, well the 6 plus acres it sat on) 60 plus year old bowling alley... So I sat here search abandoned bowling alleys and I found another video on this... Then to see my uncle, 1972, P. Zevgolis, my uncle Paul.. yeah that was and is crazy. Also to hear, prior to knowing anything about this, from my uncle himself, on how my grandfathter was, sneaking African American's in through the back door to his cafeteria (prior to the bowling alley), to let them work when they were no supposed to, and even telling them he wished he could promote them to management positions, yeah this truly hits home.
It's absolutely amazing the place has been abandoned for 16 years and is still in that good of shape. It has to be a very old center because they have the ancient AMF 82-30 pinsetters and the first AMF surepik ball racks. Pretty sad to see a place in such decay and waste. Excellent video, though.
Wished you would have toured the back end instead of the ball returns as much. Im surprised the roof has not caved in like most older centers.Enjoy abandoned bowling alleys.
That’s some shameful history. Should never be forgotten.
Its so shitty when you hear about stuff like this happening.

i had never heard of this until I watched this video. 60 years old and a great follower of history.
I never heard of this either until we did this project. Thanks for watching.

You bet, thanks for watching Tony!
Damn. I have never heard of this case and I'm from the south and we were taught most all other civil rights incidents in highschool. Thanks for this.
They are now reopening the bowling alley..I will not support

Awesome retro looking Bowling lanes! Sorry to hear about the 1968 stuff.
You and me both! Thanks for watching.

Wish you success. Horrific what happened..
Thanks for the support Bev, we truly appreciate it!
13:02 - George Pappas was a big name on the PBA tour back then.
My whole family is from South Carolina and this is my first time hearing of this that’s crazy
I've never heard about this either till we got to explore this place.

Really badass stuff here.
Thanks so much for the support Jeff!
Awww how tragic , rest in peace to those young men
Really sad to see what happened here.
@@abandonedcentral heartbreaking
Throwing a stroller is going to be a great day for this bowling alley when it comes to life
That place is cursed with the blood of the dead,the unrighteous acts violence & pain they have caused it will never succeed
They should of just left instead of causing a problem staying refusing to leave
That's cool that they want to make it into a community center. Anyway, good luck and God bless.
Yup I'm glad its getting repurposed and not demolished! Thanks for watching Brad.
Crazy
Thanks for watching Lisa.
I would have to take a few balls and definitely 10 pins. I wouldn’t be able to help myself
very cool place again... but I think your lungs look worse than that.. (sorry but i saw mine...)
Imagine people today still defending the bowling alley owner for not letting people with darker shaded skin in to bowl also
That's why we need crt... don't close your eyes folks
I NEVER heard of this. And I was alive when it happened. Thank you for bringing it to light. We know about Kent State because they were white kids...
Crazy because I never have either. It was wild to find out the background history on this place when we got there.
Bit silly starting a riot and attacking people just because you can't get in to a bowling alley . Violence doesn't solve anything.
U gotta be yt
You gotta be nm
