The Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee

Today on Sojourner Truth, we continue our 7-part series on the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, known as SNCC. During Part 2 of the series, you will hear more voices of some of the women who organized with SNCC, including Mary King, who worked in SNCCs Communications Department in the 1960s, pressing for more media coverage of racist violence in the United States. We also hear from historian Cynthia Fleming, who discusses the life and work of SNCC organizer Ruby Doris Smith-Robinson. Other featured speakers include Maria Varela and Martha Prescod Norman Noonan.
