Diary of an SNCC Member
The Diary of a SNCC Member Dear Diary, 1960 Today I went to the first Student Nonviolent Coordination Committee meeting. ... Dear Diary, 1960 I just got back from class. ... Ella Baker, the executive director of the SNCC called me today. ... She asked me if I wanted to become a student leader for SNCC. ... Dear Diary, 1960 Today after dinner I told my parents how much I want to join the SNCC. ... Dear Diary, 1960 It’s been a month since our last SNCC meeting. I finally convinced my parents to let me become a member. ... Hopefully we can gain this independence, because I know that the SNCC will be very successful in their actions. Dear Diary, December 1960 The SNCC is finally a permanent organization! ... Now that we are able to protest and express our ideas, the SNCC can fight for Civil Rights. The SNCC is able to help the Civil Rights Movement, and I’m glad to be part of it.
