Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee

Description

This folder is composed primarily of memoranda, press releases, reports, and solicitation letters produced by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in the years 1962 and 1963. Many subjects are addressed within, but the primary areas of focus concern: discussions of how federal law could be used aid the civil rights movement; debate around the ways in which the civil rights movement should develop; desegregation efforts in the South; soliciting funds for civil rights programs; and SNCC's Food and Jobs Conference. Highlights include a conference report explaining "Omnibus Integrations Suits" and a "Survey of Current Fieldwork."
