The SNCC, a political organization form in 1960 by black college students in the United States dedicated to overturning segregaton in the South and giving young blacks a stronger voice in the civil rights movement. SNCC organized and used the non-violent tactic of protest called "sit-ins", the first when four young black men sat at a segregated "whites only" lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. Which sparked a wave of other "sit-ins", lead by Ella Baker and Stokley Carmichael.
