The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was a student-led civil rights organization that played a key role in the American civil rights movement in the 1960s. Founded in 1960 by young activists who were involved in sit-ins and other forms of nonviolent protest, SNCC focused on grassroots organizing and mobilizing African American communities to demand racial equality and an end to segregation. The organization played a crucial role in organizing Freedom Rides, voter registration drives, and the March on Washington, among other actions. SNCC was instrumental in shaping the civil rights movement and challenging the status quo in America.
