Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) Actions 1960-1970
Founded in April 1960 shortly after students at North Carolina A&T began the lunch counter sit-in campaign that reignited the southern civil rights movement, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee was arguably the most dynamic and influential of the 1960s new left and civil rights era organizations. Not only did SNCC lead many of the campaigns that challenged segregation in the early 1960s, it also inspired some of the new radical formations of the mid and late 1960s, including Black Power and the student movements that swept across college campuses. These maps and charts locate more than 500 SNCC actions from 1960 through 1970. Here is the full database and an introduction to SNCC history and geography.
