Studs

Long before Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold embarked on what is now known as the Columbine High School massacre that left 12 students and 1 teacher dead there was Mark Anthony Houston we called him Studs. Studs is a True story that took place in the 70's it's about an incident that happened on October 5th 1979 on the campus of the University of South Carolina at the Bates social club. On this night our lead character (Studs) shoots and kills two people and wounds five others. Studs is organized by year. From 1972 when I moved to South Carolina until 1979 when this incident takes place. This story chronicles my life and the life of the lead character (Studs)along with many of the classmates that we grew up with in the 70's. It takes a close look at black on black racism and deals with growing up as a black male in the 70's without a father.
