SNCC was founded by Shaw University graduate Ella Baker and his sociologist Aldon D. Morris said that other protest groups like social welfare student (SDS) had a finer regional strategy than other civil rights groups He said that he adopted. In 1960, at a meeting at Shaw University, a student-led group developed from the Student Chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Soon, it played an important role in sit-in protest action. However, in the late 1960s, the leadership of the SNCC, including Stockley Carmichael, was more radical and strengthened in confrontational tactics and refused the more conservative strategy of the SCLC Ministerial Leadership.
Since 1957 when Elabakers and others discussed the importance of including students in non-violent protest actions, the idea of the creation of the SNCC has penetrated. In 1960, Baker called for a meeting on "Leaders' Conference of Non-Southern Students on Nonviolent Resistance Sequestration", the show university provided accommodation and SCLC offered $ 800. Approximately 300 students far exceeding the 100 students expected at the conference from 15th to 17th April participated.
SNCC has developed since the Easter weekend at Shaw University. For a long time, SCLC students wanted a student-led organization. (SCLC has student chapters, but Martin Luther King Jr. did not advertise formal student organizations). Unlike SCLC leaders who believe that SCLC leadership is advancing at a glacial speed, students want opportunities for leadership and adopt different strategies. At the Shaw meeting in 1960, students expressed concern about a strong central organization (even student-driven) becoming an enemy of democracy. As a result, Baker et al. Established SNCC as a decentralized organization and the national headquarters provides support and literature including newspaper, but does not provide strategy and leadership.
With the formation of SNCC, meditation became more frequent and showed direct action - a strategy for students to begin protests. SNCC also participated in free rides and other protest actions in the 1960s. But as the decade passed, the leaders of the SNCC began to emphasize black power and began to confront conservative SCLC leaders to clarify dissatisfaction and disagreement in civil rights movement .
Major civil rights groups such as NAACP, SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Council), SNCC (Student Nonviolence Coordination Committee), CORE (Racial Equality Conference), etc. played an important role in North Carolina's civil rights struggle . In 1947, CORE announced that Morgan v., "Reconciliation Journey" (an interstate bus trip forbidding separation by the US Supreme Court in 1946). We sponsored a racial bus trip aimed at testing compliance with Virginia. It is decision. The black-and-white team departed from Washington, DC, crossed the south, took a bus, stayed in Durham and Chapel Hill. The rider suffered violence during his stay at Chapel Hill and was arrested in Asheville and Durham. "Journey of reconciliation" was a pioneer of "free ride" in 1961. In addition, CORE conducted a demonstration to exclude division of public facilities in cities such as Chapel Hill, Durham, Greensboro.
The Student Nonviolence Coordination Committee (SNCC) was founded at the University of North Carolina on February 1, 1960. The committee was formed by black college students with the help of activists Elabaker. Initially, SNCC followed the nonviolent teaching of pastor James Lawson and the peaceful protest action of Dr. Martin Luther King. In 1966, Stockley Cathy was elected the president of the organization. His more extreme and anti-white agenda is in violation of the Commission's original mission. After Stokley left the committee, Hurbert "Rap" Brown became the leader of the SNCC in May 1967, and Brown also established an alliance between SNCC and Panthers, keeping white people away. In July 1967, the SNCC's annual income sharply declined as white members were expelled. In 1970, SNCC lost all 130 employees and most of its branches. By 1973, the Student Nonviolence Coordination Committee ceased to exist.
