MARTIN LUTHER KING DELIVERED HIS "I HAVE A DREAM" SPEECH ON THE STEPS OF THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL...

THE SEEDS OF THE EVENT WERE PLANTED EARLIER BY STUDENT LED SIT-INS IN THE SOUTH...WHICH IN TURN GAVE BIRTH TO THE "STUDENT NONVIOLENT COORDINATING COMMITTEE."

ALSO KNOWN AS "SNCC" SNICK, THE ORGANIZATION PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT WITH A DIRECT BUT NON-VIOLENT CAMPAIGN AGAINST SEGREGATION.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS, THREE FORMER MEMBERS RECALL SNCC'S MISSION AND THEIR ROLE IN THE 19-63 MARCH ON WASHINGTON.
