SNCC & Grassroots Organizing NEH Discussion Series

With the generous support of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the SNCC and Grassroots Organizing: Building a More Perfect Union discussion series focuses on SNCC’s grassroots community organizing and its relevance to ongoing efforts to build a more just, inclusive, and sustainable society. At its core, SNCC helped community members feel empowered to make choices and act on the issues that most impacted their lives and their communities.

Join us at an in-person or virtual event to learn more about SNCC’s organizing work from SNCC veterans and humanities scholars and to explore connections to your life and community.

The series is focused on six themes that are at the heart of SNCC’s history of grassroots organizing: the organizing tradition, voting rights, Black Power, women and gender, freedom teaching, and art and culture in movement building.
