The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was an organization that played a key role in the Civil Rights Movement in the United States during the 1960s. The purpose of SNCC was to coordinate and support nonviolent protests and actions to challenge racial segregation and discrimination, particularly in the South.Two types of protests that SNCC would conduct were:1. Sit-ins: SNCC organized and participated in sit-ins, where African American students would sit in segregated restaurants, libraries, and other public spaces, refusing to leave until they were served or the spaces were desegregated. These sit-ins were nonviolent and aimed to challenge the status quo and draw attention to the injustice of segregation.2. Freedom Rides: SNCC was involved in organizing and participating in the Freedom Rides, where African American and white activists would ride buses into the segregated South to challenge the non-enforcement of Supreme Court rulings that had declared segregated public transportation facilities unconstitutional. The Freedom Rides were intended to test the enforcement of these rulings and draw attention to the ongoing discrimination and segregation in the South.Both of these types of protests were nonviolent and aimed at challenging the unjust laws and practices that perpetuated racial discrimination and segregation. SNCC's approach to nonviolent civil disobedience was instrumental in advancing the Civil Rights Movement and achieving significant progress in the fight for racial equality.
