SNCC, or Students Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, was a group created by college students that rose out of the lunch counter sit-ins that began in Greensboro, North Carolina. The SNCC became a driving force in many later Civil Rights demonstrations, including the Freedom Rides and the drive to register Negroes to vote.
