Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee

Description

This folder is largely comprised of reports and pamphlets documenting the civil rights movement in the early half of the 1960s. The reports cover a variety of subjects, but primarily address the socio-economic conditions of African-Americans in the South and the attempts of various legislatures to stifle the rights of demonstrators. Most of the pamphlets are concerned with providing an introduction to individual Freedom Summer programs, but a few also cover the harassment of civil rights workers in Danville, Virginia, and Albany, Georgia. The folder also contains a smaller selection of letters, memoranda, and guidelines which provide insights into SNCC's practice of nonviolent political organizing, their solicitation of funds, and the arrest of H. Rap Brown. Highlights include a report, entitled "On the General Condition of the Arkansas Negro," and a series of "Inside Reports" written for the New York Herald Tribune.
