Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee

This Light of Ours

The Civil Rights Movement was a pivotal time when groups like the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) rallied together through nonviolent protests and activism to advance equal rights for African Americans. This Light of Ours challenges visitors to consider how far we have come in the pursuit of social equality and how far we still have to go.
