SNCC LEGACY PROJECT

SNCC, along with the local NAACP and CORE chapters, SCLC and many local organizations ended barriers to voting rights, beginning with the work of people at the grassroots levels who registered to vote and who challenged white supremacy at risk to their own lives and violence to their friends and family... SNCC helped expand the environment of freedom that had existed since the first Africans were offloaded and sold into slavery. The 1960's Movement helped tap into this energy. Through Movement culture for freedom was expressed and expanded in song, poetry, dance movement, visual portrayals, literature, and written and spoken word... The SNCC Legacy Project, like SNCC's Work, is rooted in Black Struggle, beginning before SNCC and into the future.
