SNCC was started February 1, 1960 by four black students from NC A&T University. The students refused to leave a white only lunch counter in Greensboro, NC. This started thousands of "sit-ins". SNCC was created at Shaw University in Raleigh, NC.
The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) played a crucial role in the Civil Rights Movement by empowering young activists to participate in grassroots organizing and direct action. Founded in 1960, SNCC focused on voter registration drives, sit-ins, and freedom rides, challenging segregation and advocating for African American rights. The committee emphasized nonviolent protest and grassroots leadership, significantly influencing the movement's strategies and tactics. SNCC also contributed to the broader fight against racial injustice by fostering a sense of agency among youth and marginalized communities.

The United Farm Workers was founded by Cesar Chavez in 1965 by combining the National Farm Workers Association and the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee.
The Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) were both pivotal organizations in the American civil rights movement, advocating for racial equality and social justice. Both groups emphasized nonviolent protest and grassroots organizing; however, their approaches and leadership differed. The SCLC, founded in 1957, was led primarily by established Black ministers and aimed for broad systemic change through coordinated campaigns. In contrast, SNCC, established in 1960, was largely youth-driven and focused on direct action and community empowerment, often adopting more radical stances over time.
During the Civil Rights Movement, several key social organizations emerged to advocate for racial equality and justice. Notable among these were the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), which focused on legal challenges against segregation and discrimination; the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), founded by Martin Luther King Jr. to coordinate nonviolent protests; and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), which mobilized young activists for grassroots organizing and direct action. Together, these organizations played crucial roles in advancing civil rights legislation and raising public awareness of racial injustices.
