Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (U.S.). Washington Office.
The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was created in 1960 at Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina. Its purpose was to coordinate the student protest movement. SNCC led voter registration drives in Mississippi and other southern states, held civil rights demonstrations advocating social integration, and sponsored the Freedom Summer of 1964 in Mississippi.
The Free D.C. Movement, led by former SNCC chairman Marion Barry, was an effort to win home rule for the city of Washington (D.C.)
