The SNCC Legacy Project

Preserving and extending the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee's legacy.

The SNCC Legacy Project (SLP) was organized in 2010, during the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the organization, to preserve and extend SNCCs legacy. Although SNCC the organization no longer exists, we believe that its legacy continues and needs to be brought forward in ways that continue the struggle for freedom, justice and liberty. To that end, the SLP is taking a multi-level approach: archiving SNCC documents digitally to make them easily available for use, encouraging and assisting in the development of books and other media by SNCC veterans with the idea of having the stories and interpretation of SNCC work told by veterans; and working with various institutions that work with todays youth to engage in an intergenerational dialog about the continuing struggle for human and civil rights.
