Come learn more about SNCC's organizing work and to explore connections to life in Alexandria and Northern Virginia.
This Teach-In series is focused on six themes that are at the heart of SNCC's history of grassroots organizing: the organizing tradition, voting rights, Black Power, women and gender, freedom teaching, and art and culture in movement building. At its core, SNCC helped community members feel empowered to make choices and act on the issues that most impacted their lives and their communities. The interpretive guide and toolkits were developed by the SNCC Digital Legacy Project.
