Profile Information
- Greatest Contribution to the Civil Rights Movement
- "The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was founded in April 1960, by young people who had emerged as leaders of the sit-in protest movement initiated on February 1 of that year by four black college students in Greensboro, North Carolina. Although Martin Luther King, Jr. and others had hoped that SNCC would serve as the youth wing of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), the students remained fiercely independent of King and SCLC, generating their own projects and strategies. Although ideological differences eventually caused SNCC and SCLC to be at odds, the two organizations worked side by side throughout the early years of the civil rights movement.

This organization and the organization I am a member of, CORE, both believe in direct action. I would like to thank you, personally, for having helped CORE with the Freedom Ride. Our participants had been abused so badly and were forced to end their participation. CORE was unsure of what to do, but thankfully this organization stepped in and brought participants. Your participants decided to pick up right where our's left off. Without your help, the Freedom Ride would not have been so successful. Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
- James Leonard Farmer, Jr.
