SNCC 1960-1966: Six years of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee
(ibiblio.org)
On February 1, 1960, a group of black college students from North Carolina A&T University refused to leave a Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina where they had been denied service. This sparked a wave of other sit-ins in college towns across the South. The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, or SNCC (pronounced "snick"), was created on the campus of Shaw University in Raleigh two months later to coordinate these sit-ins, support their leaders, and publicize their activities.

(Clearly, one of the most important and influential group of protesters in the Sixties. But it seems to my unsophisticated mind that perhaps the power of their movement was diluted by all the other groups that joined in. In the end, were they really influential, or mere pawns? )
