Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC; pronounced "Snick")
was a civil rights group founded in the early 1960s. It later
developed into a black nationalist organization with Marxist
Leninist qualities.  It is most famous for staging "sit-ins" in
restaurants across the American South, where black protesters
(and a number of white supporters) sat in the "Whites Only"
section of a segregated restaurant, and sat there and sat there,
even when the waiters refused service to them. It was also
instrumental in the 1963 march on Washington, where Martin
Luther King gave his famous, 'I have a dream' speech.  In the
late 1960s, a radical antisemitic black supremacist named
Stokely Carmichael took over SNCC and started advocating
violence and black nationalism. He was a racist who fired all
the white members of SNCC. Later, another black nationalist and
member of the Nation of Islam, H. Rap Brown, changed the name of
SNCC to Student National Coordinance Comm
