SNCC (the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) was created in April 1960 to organize and coordinate student-led nonviolent direct action against Jim Crow segregation. Sparked by the Greensboro sit-ins and convened by Ella Baker at a meeting at Shaw University, its initial goals were to support sit-ins and other protests to desegregate public facilities, train activists in nonviolent tactics, and build a sustained student movement.
As it matured SNCC moved into grassroots organizing—especially voter registration and community empowerment in the Deep South (e.g., Freedom Summer, Mississippi)—and later adopted a more militant, Black Power–oriented stance in the mid-1960s.
