This extensive document is the result of an investigation conducted
by the Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Department of the
Army, with the assistance of the US Army Intelligence Command and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The intelligence report details the evolution of the Student
Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), from its creation in
1960 through October of 1967 when this report was issued. The introduction
states that SNCC:
"was created in 1960 as a nonviolent civil rights organization
concentrating on Negro voter registration campaigns in the South,
by 1965 SNCC had renounced its policy of non-violence and
integration to advocate political and economic power for the
Negro and to agitate against the United States involvement in
Vietnam."
This report gives a detailed description of SNCC
with summaries of its policy statements (including Vietnam), organizational
structure, contacts with other organizations (both communist and
otherwise), an account of SNCC protest activities, and
descriptions of the personalities that made up the organization,
including Stokely Carmichael, John Lewis, H. Rap Brown, George Ware,
and Marion Barry.
