“When some Black people said we must control our own communities it didn’t mean putting white people out. It just meant we were in charge.”

For Freedom Rider David Dennis, resistance is necessary - Verite News New Orleans David Dennis knows a little something about resistance. He was one of the original Freedom Riders in the early 1960s

The #GreensboroFour staged the first of the #GreensboroSitIns on #ThisDayInHistory in 1960. First target was the "Whites Only" lunch counter in a #Woolworths department store. Sit-ins lasted until 25 July, forced #desegregation at the store chain, & catalyzed formation of #SNCC.

SNCC didn’t change America with millions.

They did it with 7 people… then 70.

Change has never required everyone.
Just the committed.

Her belief in everyday people shaped SNCC, strengthened the Civil Rights Movement, and redefined what leadership could be.

Did you know? In 1968, the U.S. Senate’s Government Operations Committee published a report on civil unrest that included an ‘organization chart’ of SNCC. What was once intended to undermine the movement is now a powerful historical record of grassroots leadership.
