9. Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)
SNCC formed on February 1, 1960, by Black college students dedicated to overturning segregation in the South and giving young Blacks a stronger voice in the civil rights movement in America.
The SNCC began as an interracial group advocating change in a non violence way.
(The philosophy of nonviolence switched to one of greater militancy after the mid-1960s and advocated to the “Black Power” movement).
SNCC strengthened its efforts in community organization and supported Freedom Rides in 1961, along with the March on Washington in 1963, and agitated for the Civil Rights Act (1964).

10. The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s echoed the NAACP's goals, but leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, felt that direct action was needed to obtain them.
The NAACP even posted bail for hundreds of Freedom Riders in the ‘60s who had traveled to Mississippi to register black voters and challenge Jim Crow policies.

11. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) was established in 1957‘‘This conference is called because we have no moral choice, before God, but to delve deeper into the struggle—and to do so with greater reliance on non-violence and with greater unity, coordination, sharing, and Christian understanding’’ –MLK Jr.
SCLC didn’t seek individual member. It differed from organizations such as the SNCC and NAACP in that it operated as an umbrella organization of affiliates.
The SCLC organized local protest groups throughout the South. Under the leadership of Martin Luther King, Jr., the organization drew on the power and independence of black churches to support its activities.
