Seminar Series on SNCC and Grassroots Organizing

July 15, 2024

The SNCC Legacy Project is offering a SNCC and Grassroots Organizing: Building a More Perfect Union discussion series on SNCC’s grassroots community organizing and its relevance to ongoing efforts to build a more just, inclusive, and sustainable society.

The series, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, is focused on six themes that are at the heart of SNCC’s history of grassroots organizing: the organizing tradition, voting rights, Black Power, women and gender, freedom teaching, and art and culture in movement building.
