Question

Why were sncc organizers willing to put themselves at such personal risk

Answer 1

The Student Nonvioent Coordinating Comittee (SNCC) was a group that protested segregated facilities all over the US. They put the themselves at risk and refused to be violent despite the physical violence to prove a point to American society. They wanted to show that African-Americans are mature and that they were not the source of the problem. This was a way to show that African-Americans deserved equal treatment in American society.
