Civil-rights Activist Stepping Down from Voorhees College

S.C. civil-rights activist Cleveland Sellers said Thursday he is stepping down as president of Voorhees College, citing serious health challenges. The 70-year-old Sellers, who was shot during the 1968 Orangeburg Massacre, has run the 118-year-old, historically black college in Denmark since 2008. He will remain at the school through next spring.
