Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee
Description
This folder is largely composed of reports and press releases. The press releases primarily pertain to the years 1962 and 1963, and cover the organization's desegregation efforts in a number of Southern cities (Cambridge, MD; Danville, VA; Greenville, MS; Little Rock, AR). Many also relate the harassment civil rights volunteers faced from government officials and citizenry. Many of the reports take the form of Wats Line Digests and Incident Summaries, which provide a glimpse of SNCC's day-to-day operations. Other highlights include "A Comparative Analysis of Three Versions of the Civil Rights Bill of 1963 (H.R. 7152)" and a drawing entitled "Diagram for SNCC Structure."
