How did the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee break open
the caste system in the American South between 1960 and 1965? In
this innovative study, Wesley Hogan explores what SNCC accomplished
and, more important, "how" it fostered significant social change in
such a short time. She offers new insights into the internal
dynamics of SNCC as well as the workings of the larger civil rights
and Black Power movement of which it was a part.
As Hogan chronicles, the members of SNCC created some of the
civil rights movement's boldest experiments in freedom, including
the sit-ins of 1960, the rejuvenated Freedom Rides of 1961, and
grassroots democracy projects in Georgia and Mississippi. She
highlights several key players--including Charles Sherrod, Bob
Moses, and Fannie Lou Hamer--as innovators of grassroots activism
and democratic practice.
Breaking new ground, Hogan shows how SNCC laid the foundation
for the emergence of the New Left and created new definitions of
political leadership during the civil rights and Vietnam eras. She
traces the ways other social movements--such as Black Power,
women's liberation, and the antiwar movement--adapted practices
developed within SNCC to apply to their particular causes. "Many
Minds, One Heart" ultimately reframes the movement and asks us to
look anew at where America stands on justice and equality
today.
