This is an online archive on the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) with documents, photographs, oral history interviews, and audiovisual material as well as maps and interactive timelines. The site is a result of the collaboration between the SNCC Legacy Project and Duke University. It is an excellent resource for teachers, students, and anyone else interested in the history of the Civil Rights Movement.
