Description

Howard Zinn worked closely with SNCC's educational program. This folder contains correspondence, notes, plans, and lists of potential teachers and speakers (overwhelmingly male) for month-long SNCC institutes and work-study programs. Zinn was excited about the possibilities for linking "thought with action" through the civil rights movement, and one of his chief concerns seems to have been that college students participating in the civil rights movement might be missing out on their intellectual training, while local SNCC leaders could benefit from a broader perspective of the power structure that oppressed them. The folder includes Zinn's "Proposed Educational Program for Full-Time Civil Rights Workers in the South" (March 1964) and many iterations of plans and curricula for the study institutes described above.
