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.

What is the difference between SCLC and SNCC?
SNCC stands for the students non violent coordinating committee. SNCC was lead pretty much by Bob Moses, who was NOT a charismatic leader. He was soft spoken, but really helped the voter registration movement. He was the one to tell people who were coming down to from the north to watch out- there is a chance that the radical segregationists were going to get you. He also created the group that combined SNCC, SDS, and the Mississippi NAACP. (the people who mobilized a bunch of people and got them voting). Pretty much in summary, SNCC was huge. It helped dramatically in the voter registration (that is what its focus was) and also wanted a participatory democracy (where people were independent of main leaders- could be "self-governed") SNCC was huge with making group leadership and treating women as equals. SCLC stands for the Southern Christian Leadership Committee. This group was less group centered, and focused on charismatic leadership like MLK (another example of charismatic leadership is JFK). In this organization, the group targeted getting rid of the Jim Crow Laws. This group was very important to desegregate, and wanted to mobilize numbers of people to dramatize the demands. They wanted media to step in and take a look at the injustice. Many people were in both SNCC and SCLC= people like Ella Baker, and others. Another organization that you may get confused with these two is the SDS. (another "S" name....i know) This group was the students for a democratic society. These kids were the red diaper babies, or the people who came from communist parents who his their old political past. SDS was students who were anti-communist, and were kids in the New Left. In the SDS is the Port Huron Statement that was written by Tom Hayden. Three New Left principles are 1)Feminism 2)Environmentalism and 3)Capitalism. They wanted fast changes, and no slow changes. They opposed the cold war, the nuclear arms race, and opposed normal democracy. They were radial democracy, and their main ideas came from marxist ideas and existentialism. The Port Huron Statement (the statement with all of the new left ideas that I just mentioned) were approved by the SDS Convention.
