More than 800 accumulate to applaud SNCCs 50th anniversary

	_______________________

RALEIGH -- Their hair gray but their hearts strong, some-more than 800 organizers and supporters of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating mission converged on Raleigh for their 50th anniversary discussion Thursday, a three-day event.

Born at Shaw University, SNCC played a vital role in the Civil Rights Movement, organizing voter registration drives opposite the South, participating in sit-ins and leisure rides, fast beatings and arrests for their protests.

Often called the movements "shock troops," SNCC stood out for the grass-roots style, behaving by infancy order rather than by a hierarchy. Its members were often college-aged, and since most women hold heading roles, it is pronounced that SNCC helped fuel the feminist transformation as well as column up the lives of black southerners.

"Many went to jail," pronounced Chuck McDew, SNCC authority from 1960 to 1963. "Many suffered. Many suffered brutalization at the hands of the law. ... While America is a opposite place since of SNCC, and most who have sacrificed over the years, the onslaught continues."

The role of the discussion is not to reminisce, or to self-congratulate, pronounced SNCC part of Timothy Jenkins prior to a throng of 300 at Fletcher Hall in the Progress Energy Performing Arts Center. The idea instead is to fill in SNCCs blank chapters.

"We contingency be at suffering to discuss it the story to the me generation," he said, "to the bling era ... so they know theres something some-more rewarding than wealth, some-more critical that volume, and it has to do with morals.

The discussion continues by Saturday at Shaw and includes speeches by thespian and romantic Harry Belafonte and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
