SNCC Digital Gateway

The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) Legacy Project, Duke University Libraries, and Duke University's Century for Documentary Studies have teamed up to create the SNCC Digital Gateway, a website that documents the history and legacy of SNCC (pronounced "Snick"). Launched in December 2016, the SNCC Digital Gateway features both information and primary sources about the grassroots civil rights organization founded in 1960. Visitors can explore this material in a variety of ways. The People section contains detailed profiles of over 100 individuals who were involved with SNCC. Meanwhile, in the History section, visitors can explore an interactive timeline of key events in SNCC history. Those interested in how SNCC members organized and planned their activism can find out more via the Perspectives and Inside SNCC sections. Finally, visitors can explore key sites of SNCC activism with the Map. All of these sections include a number of embedded primary source materials, including official organization notes, powerful photographs, newsreels, and documentary footage. The inclusion of these materials - especially the oral history interviews with activists - allows visitors to gain keen insight into the experiences and legacy of SNCC and its activists.
