This roundtable is part of a three-part series discussing the intertwined histories of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in three phases, the early days of organizing North and South, the height of civil rights organizing exemplified by the Mississippi Summer Project/Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, the Chicago School Boycott, and the impact of SNCC beyond the 1960s. They are multi-media interactive sessions encompassing multi-generational group interviews of movement veterans by today's social justice advocates, clips of already recorded interviews, and the actual filming of a documentary being produced on the Chicago SNCC History Project both the archive and already filmed interviews and events.

The roundtable will also include brief films produced by SNCC and award-winning documentary filmmaker Catherine Murphy, musical performances and excerpts from videotaped oral history conversations.

The audience for these sessions is historians, educators, archivists, students and all those interested in public history, people who see the future of the discipline being offered in non-traditional places and for historically underserved and marginal communities.
