Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee

Description

This folder is largely composed of Wide Area Telephone reports written by SNCC between July 1964 and November 1966. The reports have the dual purpose of providing daily accounts of the work performed by civil rights volunteers and recording the violence they faced as a result. The span of time covered by these documents also allow observations to be made about the ways in which SNCC's operations were altered with the passing of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
