What happens when students come together with purpose?

During Easter weekend 1960, it meant turning sit-ins into a coordinated movement. It meant building something independent, rooted in shared vision and collective power. From that moment, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee was born, led by students who understood that real change takes strategy, connection, and courage!

They didn’t just respond to history, they helped shape it!
