SNCC 1960-1966 -
Six Years of The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee
On February 1, 1960, a group of black college students from North Carolina
A&T University refused to leave a Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro,
North Carolina where they had been denied service. This sparked a wave of
other sit-ins in college towns across the South. The Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee, or SNCC (pronounced "snick"), was created on the
campus of Shaw University in Raleigh two months later to coordinate these
sit-ins, support their leaders, and publicize their activities.
