	Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SNCC had begun organizing citizens to register to vote in Selma, but was forced to cede a larger role to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference later that year.
		Brown renamed the group the Student National Coordinating Committee and supported violence, which he described “as American as cherry pie.” He resigned from SNCC in 1968, after being indicted for inciting to riot in Cambridge, Maryland in 1967, to become Minister of Justice of the Black Panther Party.
		SNCC is recognized today as one of the primary influences on the modern youth activism movement.

		SNCC workers became role models for a generation of young activists, both inside and outside the South, who challenged many of the assumptions that perpetuated injustice and oppression in American society.
		SNCC's emergence as a force in the southern civil rights movement came largely through the involvement of students in the 1961 Freedom Rides, which were designed to confront southern segregation policies.
		During the fall of 1961, SNCC worker Charles Sherrod developed ties to local students and older fl residents and formed the Albany Movement, an organization which invited King and other SCLC officials to participate in major protests during December 1961 and the summer of 1962.

	History of SNCC
		Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), United States political organization formed in 1960 by fl college students dedicated to overturning segregation in the South and giving young fls a stronger voice in the civil rights movement in the United States.
		SNCC was organized to advance the "sit-in" movement, a protest technique that became prominent after February 1, 1960, when four young fl men sat at a segregated "whites only" lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, and refused to leave when ordered to do so.
		SNCC and the Black Panthers cooperated on various levels in the late 1960s, organizing rallies and sharing offices in certain cities, but the relationship between the groups was often shaky, with SNCC members often disagreeing with the Black Panther's advocacy of violent confrontation.

	THE STUDENT NONVIOLENT COORDINATING COMMITTEE: A BRIEF HISTORY OF A GRASS-ROOTS ORGANIZATION
		The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was organized to advance and coordinate the “sit-in” movement, a protest technique that became prominent in1960, when four young fl men sat at a segregated “whites only” lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, and refused to leave when ordered to do so.
		Baker had the foresight to discern that the sit-ins lacked direction and overall coordination and she appealed to SCLC to sponsor a meeting with students who were involved in the sit-ins.
		But SNCC workers realized that because two of the victims were white, these murders were attracting much more attention than previous murders and attacks in which the victims had been fl, and this added to the growing resentment they had already begun to feel towards the white volunteers.

	Veterans of Hope
		Founded in 1960 in North Carolina, by fl college students from across the south, SNCC was largely responsible for spreading the use of "sit-ins" (and other forms of direct nonviolent action) as a major tactic against racial discrimination in public spaces.
		SNCC was a key collaborator with the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) in the Freedom Rides of 1961 where interracial groups of nonviolent activists rode interstate buses into the deep South to challenge segregationist practices in public interstate transportation facilities and on the buses themselves.
		In all of this work SNCC was developing an organic model for community organizing that was indigenous to the experience of African Americans in the rural south, a model based in the life of the fl community and its institutions.

	SNCC Founding Statement
		We affirm the philosophical or religious ideal of nonviolence as the foundation of our purpose, the presupposition of our belief, and the manner of our action.
		Nonviolence, as it grows from the Judeo-Christian tradition, seeks a social order of justice permeated by love.
		By appealing to conscience and standing on the moral nature of human existence, nonviolence nurtures the atmosphere in which reconciliation and justice become actual possibilities.

		Thus their articulation of white feminist thought in SNCC was born, King stated, not particularly as a critique of the treatment or roles of women in SNCC, or in the wider society, but most urgently as a reaction against the move towards what seemed to them to be a centralised, undemocratic, exclusionary organisation.
		SNCC brought women of differing race, ethnicity, class, and regional origin together for a time, and gave them a space in which to share their lives, and a cause for which they could fight together, alongside men on equal terms.

	Greensboro Lunch Counter Sit-In (Educational Materials: African American Odyssey)
		The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was founded at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in April, 1960, in Raleigh, North Carolina.
		The students helped register fls to vote (their work encouraged and assisted in registering over 17,000 fls to vote), taught in freedom schools (to counteract the inadequacy of the Mississippi education system for fls), and taught fls tactics for becoming freedom fighters.
		The 1966 election of Stokey Carmichael over Lewis for SNCC chairman marked a turn toward radicalization for the group; he rejected much of SNCC's white support and was frustrated with the slow progress of non-violent protests.

		During the 1960s, she served with SNCC on its projects in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, and is part of a group of SNCC women editing Hands on the Freedom Plow, an anthology chronicling the civil rights work of more than 50 women in the Southern freedom movement.
		The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, formed by student participants of the lunch counter sit-ins who wanted to coordinate nonviolent action, played an instrumental role in the Civil Rights Movement, particularly in the1964 Mississippi Summer Project, which sought to register fl voters in the Mississippi Delta despite violent opposition from government authorities.
		Not only because of the work the committee did, he says, but also because “as a group of young people, they were incredibly effective in terms of organizing.”; The group, Quashie notes, was multiracial and inter-religious, which counters the popular understanding of the Civil Rights Movement as a strictly African American movement.
