Survey: Current Field Work, Spring, 1963

Although the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) is most strongly associated with its work in Mississippi, especially the Freedom Summer and Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party projects, SNCC carried out civil rights work across the South. By 1963, only three years after the group’s 1960 founding, SNCC operated in a number of different states, with field workers and volunteers posted throughout the South.

This 1963 report demonstrates the various projects that SNCC carried out and the ways that the organization sought to make its work specific to the needs and resources of each community in which it worked.
