The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was founded in 1960 to promote civil rights and challenge segregation in the United States. It utilized nonviolent protest methods, such as sit-ins, freedom rides, and voter registration drives, to confront and dismantle racial segregation and discrimination. By mobilizing students and engaging communities, SNCC sought to empower African Americans and raise awareness of civil rights issues, ultimately playing a crucial role in the broader Civil Rights Movement.
