{"value"=>"<p>The <span class=\"emph\">STUDENT NON-VIOLENT COORDINATING COMMITTEE (SNCC)</span>series includes press releases, statements, letters, reprints of published material distributed by SNCC, and clippings. The series is divided into two categories -- general material about the organization from 1963 to 1967 and specific material about the Atlanta Project, 1966-1967. The general material begins with the Mississippi Freedom Summer in 1964 and to some extent traces the growing radicalization within the organization over the years. Also included are references to support from outside the organization, as well as typewritten copies of statements by John Lewis in 1965 and H. Rap Brown in 1967. In addition, there is a copy of the August 1964, <span class=\"title\">Student Voice</span> with the headline story referring to the murders of three civil rights workers (James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner) and a story about the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. The Atlanta Project is described by two press releases and a copy of <span class=\"title\">The Nitty Gritty,</span> with stories about Julian Bond, the Greenville A.F.B. and Markham Street, Atlanta. There are two affidavits citing racial incidents in Atlanta and a notebook in Catherine Clarke's hand, marked “Atlanta.”</p>"}
