All-Star Triangle Bowl

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

All-Star Triangle Bowl is a bowling alley located in Orangeburg, South Carolina, United States. The lanes are a historic fixture of the community. The original owner was Harry K. Floyd. All-Star Triangle Bowl is most known for its fundamental role in the Orangeburg Massacre, which was sparked as a result of Floyd disallowing people of color to bowl at the privately-owned bowling alley (which was then called All Star Bowling Lane). The bowling alley was owned and operated by Harry Floyd until his death (July 12, 2002)[1]. Following his death, ownership was passed to his son, Harry Floyd, Jr. The Floyd family maintains operation of the lanes to this day. All-Star Triangle Bowl is on the National Register of Historic Places.
