Matthew Jones, field secretary for Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) from Knoxville, TN, gives background on how he became involved with the SNCC, his experience with restaurant sit-ins, voter registration, and other non-violent movements with “mixed” groups. Various recorded reports from Jackson, Miss. are made about protests, bombings, harassment, and Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. Voter registration drives and freedom schools functioned as usual. Fundraisers are being held to raise money to send delegates to Washington.
