The SNCC Digital Gateway
Made possible with the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, The SNCC Digital Gateway: Learn From the Past, Organize for the Future, Make Democracy Work is a collaborative project of the Student Nonviolent Coordinator Committee, Duke's Center for Documentary Studies, and the Duke University Libraries. This documentary website tells the story of how young activists in SNCC united with local people in the Deep South to build a grassroots movement for change that empowered the Black community and transformed the nation.
