Beschreibung

An indispensable study of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee from the author of the bestselling A People's History of the United States . SNCC: The New Abolitionists influenced a generation of activists struggling for civil rights and seeking to learn from the successes and failures of those who built the fantastically influential Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. It is considered an indispensable study of the organization and the social movements of the 1960s.
