Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee

The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and later the Student National Coordinating Committee (SNCC, pronounced SNIK), was the principal channel of student commitment in the United States to the civil rights movement during the 1960s. Emerging in 1960 from the student-led sit-ins at segregated lunch counters in Greensboro, North Carolina, and Nashville, Tennessee, the Committee sought to coordinate and assist direct-action challenges to the civic segregation and political exclusion of African Americans.
