Art and Culture in the Movement Roundtable Discussion

Join us for the Art and Culture in the Movement Roundtable Discussion!

Art and culture were central to how the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) engaged with communities during the Civil Rights Movement. SNCC hired and trained photographers, gave cameras to local people, and used community-based collaboration to create film strips and other visual materials as educational tools. However, nothing was more important than the singing and movement culture at the heart of mass meetings, marches, and every other aspect of the movement. Join SNCC veterans Charles E. Cobb, Jr. and Jennifer Lawson, as well as humanities scholars Wesley Hogan and Joshua Myers, to learn more about the impact of art and culture in the Movement.

The event will be held at 7 p.m. in the NCCU Student Center Event Hall. Can’t make it in person? Join the livestream!
