The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) Legacy Project (SLP) was begun to preserve and extend SNCC’s legacy.

Although SNCC the organization no longer exists, we believe that its legacy continues and needs to be brought forward in ways that continue the struggle for freedom, justice and liberty. To that end, the SLP is taking a multi-level approach:

• Archiving SNCC documents digitally to make them easily available for use;
• Encouraging and assisting in the development of books and other media by SNCC veterans with the idea of having the stories and interpretation of SNCC’s work told by its veterans;
• Developing with colleges and universities a program of SNCC visiting professors and scholars who would in formal and informal ways interact with young people on campuses and take advantage of campus resources to begin telling the story as it should be told;
• and finally anchored by the Algebra Project and Young People’s Project pursue one of the still great unfulfilled needs of the Freedom Movement: Quality Education as a Constitutional Right.

Built into our efforts is the determination to see that our legacy, the legacy of the freedom struggle, is passed from our generation to future generations.

A Luta Continua!
