The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was formally organized in October 1960, in Atlanta, Georgia, after a spring and summer of sit-ins and meetings between other protest groups. One representative from each Southern state and the District of Columbia was included on the Committee. SNCC's grass-roots approach was designed to recruit college students in the North to be sent to work in Southern rural communities. Efforts were directed not only toward helping rural blacks, but toward building a trained leadership and active, unified communities among urban and town black populations. Specific activities included voter education and registration, Freedom Schools, and Freedom Centers. Students received subsistence salaries while they lived and worked with the people they helped. They were often targets of Southern white hostility, and in each state, SNCC headquarters maintained a “WATS” telephone network for communications and emergency assistance purposes.

The Arkansas Project of SNCC was initiated in the fall of 1962, at the request of the Arkansas Council on Human Relations, which was concerned about segregated lunch counters in downtown Little Rock. State Project headquarters were located in Little Rock, and other centers of activity were Gould, Pine Bluff, Helena, and Forrest City (St. Francis County). In 1965, the Arkansas Summer Project was begun, to assist in registration of black voters.

A series of sit-ins and mass marches by SNCC workers and students from Philander Smith College resulted in the desegregation of Little Rock lunch counters, theaters, and hotels in January 1963. During the same period, SNCC workers William W. Hansen and Ben Grinage went to Pine Bluff “to begin developing a comprehensive voter registration drive in East Arkansas,” among the “black belt” delta counties. A lunch counter desegregation campaign was conducted by students from Arkansas A & M College and the local high school, and weekly mass meetings began. These initial efforts met with limited success until an effective boycott of the entire Pine Bluff downtown shopping area, demonstrations, and jailings, brought desegregation of the lunch counters and theaters. Out of these demonstrations was formed the Pine Bluff Movement.

Within the Pine Bluff Movement, an executive committee made all local policy decisions and initiated programs, which were then ratified or changed by the membership. Other officers were elected, and the chairman of the Pine Bluff Movement held a seat on the Arkansas Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. SNCC workers were also sent to Forrest City (St. Francis County) early in 1963, but soon had to be recalled and placed elsewhere in the state. In May 1965, a group of Forrest City young adults who were concerned about the problems of African American residents, provided the impetus for the formation of the St. Francis County Achievement Committee (SFCAC). Its initial efforts were to obtain equal employment, and that spring demonstrations occurred at a local employment office and at various businesses which refused to hire blacks. That summer and fall the movement spread to students at Lincoln High School, who petitioned the school board and demonstrated in front of the school building to protest inferior conditions there. The work of the SFCAC grew with its espousal of other SNCC programs; a Freedom School and Center was established in Forrest City and voter registration began in St. Francis County. In 1965 and 1966, SFCAC staff numbered at least ten. Mervin Barr served as president.

The early history of the Gould Citizens for Progress is somewhat obscure, but the group was in operation by July 1965. Apparently, this organization was initiated and run by local citizens to a greater extent than other SNCC-supported groups in Arkansas. Its projects included school desegregation and improvement, voting registration and education, and assistance to individuals in getting or keeping welfare payments.

Mss 488	Part 1 (Mss 488, Audio 805A, PH 2917): Original Collection, 1960-1966 Physical Description: 2.8 c.f. (8 archives boxes), 3 tape recordings, and 422 images on 83 contact strips and 9 photographs in 1 archives box  Scope and Content Note The collection has been arranged into six major series: Records of the Arkansas Project, Gould Citizens for Progress Files, Pine Bluff Movement Files, St. Francis County Achievement Committee Files, Personal Papers of SNCC Workers, and Photographs. Material distributed statewide has been incorporated into the files of the Arkansas Project, and duplication eliminated. Many of the original papers were photocopied and returned to the donors. Contained within the RECORDS OF THE ARKANSAS PROJECT are papers created and collected by many SNCC workers, and maintained in the central files in the Little Rock headquarters. Included are general correspondence, office files, and a news clippings file. The general correspondence contains letters sent and received by staff members, to SNCC national headquarters, Friends of SNCC groups, other civil rights organizations, and interested individuals. In particular, SNCC field secretary and Freedom Centers Coordinator Nancy Stoller, and State Project Director Ben Grinage, are well represented in these files. Office files are composed of reports, memos, notes, clippings, and associated correspondence arranged alphabetically by subject into reference and working files. Of major interest are the 1964 Arkansas Project Annual Report, and the Arkansas SNCC Records, which contain fragmentary financial records, staff working papers, memos (some drafted by Mitchell Zimmerman), notes of meetings, and phone lists. Field Reports provide detailed, often first-hand accounts of the activities of SNCC workers. The material from the counties, dated 1962 and 1963, generally deals with voter registration drives, while the Little Rock reports from 1965 and 1966 contain reports of demonstrations. Papers in the file on Freedom School Workshops consist of typed notes and a list of attendees at a workshop held March 27-April 7, 1965 at the Highlander Center, Knoxville, Tennessee. General SNCC guidelines for all new staff members are also found in this series. Examples of harassment, intimidation, and brutality encountered by SNCC workers throughout Arkansas are recorded in the folder of Incident Reports. Two folders of material regarding suspected fraud in voter registration and voting procedures in Phillips County contain requests and applications for absentee ballots and statements and lists of voters. The “WATS Record” lists incoming calls and messages for Little Rock SNCC staff. The News Clippings File contains photocopied copies of articles taken from Arkansas newspapers regarding events and activities in the nation, and particularly, in Arkansas. An undated list of “newspapers subscribed to during the clipping period” is located in the folder of Miscellany (Box 2, Folder 6). The files of the GOULD CITIZENS FOR PROGRESS illustrate the efforts to desegregate public facilities and schools in Gould, voter registration, and other projects. Particularly noteworthy are the minutes of meetings, 1965-1966, and the folder regarding Gould programs and activities. Much of the material consists of handwritten notes, probably made by SNCC worker Laura Foner. The records of the PINE BLUFF MOVEMENT include the correspondence, memos, and miscellaneous related materials of SNCC field secretaries for the area, Arlene Wilgoren and Vincent J. O'Connor. The “daily record,” apparently kept by Wilgoren in June-July 1965, is in reality, fragmentary and incomplete notes, addresses, and drafts of field reports and letters. In 1965 and 1966, O'Connor, a San Francisco native, was a SNCC worker in Pine Bluff. Although his civil rights activities are documented in the general files of the Pine Bluff Movement, O'Connor's diary and personal correspondence also reveal a great deal about his work and the community. During the latter part of his stay in Arkansas, O'Connor grew increasingly interested in the anti-war movement, partially as an outgrowth of his religious convictions. He was a draft resister and sought status as a conscientious objector. Much of his correspondence is with pacifist groups and individuals interested in the anti-war movement, and with his draft board. He attempted to spur anti-war feeling in the state, and worked with the Arkansans for Peace in Vietnam group. After the dissolution of the SNCC organization in Arkansas late in 1966, O'Connor worked to organize local farmers and farm workers into cooperatives and was active in Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service election campaigns. Notable correspondents include activists Carl and Anne Braden. Records of the ST. FRANCIS COUNTY ACHIEVEMENT COMMITTEE include correspondence, memos, minutes of meetings, project weekly reports, and notes concerning the work of the Committee. Efforts centered around the boycott of Forrest City's Lincoln High School in an attempt to force improvement of conditions there. Literary writings, including play drafts and art work, illustrate the activities of the Freedom School and Center in Forrest City. The PERSONAL PAPERS OF SNCC WORKERS consist of personal and work-related material of four SNCC volunteers. Laura Foner's papers include copies of her correspondence, newspaper articles regarding her, brochures, posters, and records pertaining to her involvement with school desegregation in Gould. Foner, a graduate of Brandeis University, ran the Gould Freedom Center in conjunction with Robert Cableton. There is relatively little of a personal nature in her papers. William W. Hansen (1939- ), originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, left Xavier College in his junior year to work full-time for SNCC. His first assignment was Cambridge, Maryland in 1961, when local civil rights leaders invited SNCC to aid in their fight on unemployment and discrimination in public accommodations. Hansen subsequently traveled through Virginia and North Carolina, visiting African American college campuses and attempting to organize students. In 1962 he spent some time in Albany and Atlanta, Georgia, prior to going to Arkansas in the fall. There, Hansen quickly became involved in sit-in demonstrations held to protest segregated restaurants and lunch counters. With Ben Grinage, Hansen traveled throughout the state, organizing students and community residents. In February 1963 Hansen organized lunch counter demonstrations in Pine Bluff, where he met his wife, Ruth (or Ruthie) Buffington, a student at Arkansas A & M College. Ruth joined the demonstrations, and was expelled from college. The Hansen's marriage on October 12, 1963, and later residence and work in Arkansas, created a statewide uproar. Hansen's papers include correspondence and related material, primarily concerning SNCC's car fleet and driving privileges, copies of court injunctions and legal papers, election and voting data, and copies of Hansen's field reports from his work in Maryland, Georgia, and Arkansas in 1962. The collection also includes two tape recordings made by Society staff member Bob Gabriner, with the Hansen's in Little Rock, August 7, 1966. On tape both Bill and Ruthie discuss their background, how each became involved with the civil rights movement, Bill's earlier civil rights work in Maryland and Georgia, and the beginnings and evolution of SNCC. Other interesting parts of the discussion are Hansen's recollections of the difficulties encountered by SNCC; problems within SNCC such as personnel, personalities, ideas, and the strains of the black-white, native Arkansan-outsider difficulties (Hansen was the only white SNCC field secretary). Hansen also gives his opinion of SNCC leaders James Forman, Stokely Carmichael, and Bob Moses, and talks about SNCC's financial woes and its lack of a realistic program in Arkansas at that time. Collin Minert (1943- ), a native of Milwaukee and a graduate of the University of Wisconsin in political science, worked for SNCC during the summer of 1965. Living in the town of West Helena, Minert was active in local voter registration programs and taught in the Freedom Center. His papers include a copy of his application to the Summer Project, and related correspondence, and a descriptive letter written to friends in Wisconsin. Also present are two notebooks of Minert's notes from SNCC meetings; information regarding the state and its government; and names, addresses, and phone numbers of West Helena SNCC staff members and residents. This is the only material in the collection specifically dealing with SNCC activities in West Helena. The folder of papers of Mitchell Zimmerman (1942- ) may provide the most complete view of the operation of SNCC of any personal papers. Zimmerman, a native of the Bronx, New York, and a graduate student in political science at Princeton University, spent the summer of 1964 working in the Atlanta SNCC office. From August 1965 through 1966 he worked in Arkansas, serving as communications officer for the Arkansas Project, and also doing field work for a short time in Forrest City and West Memphis. As communications chief, Zimmerman acted as press officer, manned the “WATS'” line, and was in a position to oversee the operations of the Project; he committed many of his observations and conclusions to paper. In his correspondence, a diary, field reports, and drafts of reports, Zimmerman noted the decentralization of state SNCC operations, and the considerable autonomy exercised by local organizations within the state itself. According to Zimmerman, by late 1965, most of the Arkansas projects were functioning well, under the supervision of 23 SNCC staff members. Some of his other observations were taped by Bob and Vicki Gabriner in Little Rock, August 8, 1966, in a joint interview with SNCC worker Jim Jones. The PHOTOGRAPHS document activities of SNCC from 1964 to 1966. Included are images of the Little Rock SNCC office and staff meetings, Freedom Schools, Freedom Centers, demonstrations, political campaigns, court hearings, peace demonstrations, and a Black high school. The photographs were made by Brian E. Rybolt, Dwight Williams, and Don Shaw.
