Introduction#

The SNCC Legacy Project (SLP) was established after the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of SNCC to collect, present history, and analyze the organization’s work from the inside out emphasizing the thinking of SNCC veterans.

SLP also issues statements from time to time on issues pertinent to the Black community today and supportive of the Movement for Black Lives.

Since its founding, SLP has begun expanding its work to include assisting today’s young activists in documenting, defining, and making available to activists and scholars their work and struggle.
