Organized in 1960, SNCC, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, was the only civil rights organization led by young people. SNCC activists focused on voter registration and on challenging white supremacy embedded in our country’s political, economic, and social systems. SNCC built a community of local grassroots organizations in the Deep South.
