The student Nonviolent act committee was a group created during the civil rights movement. It was created when Martin Luther King Jr. gave a group of students to form a group to support desegregation and give young blacks a voice in the movement. One of the first protests they did was the Greensboro Sit-in. This is where the group went into restaurants and sat in the white reserved seated areas, the restaurants refused service but not retaliate to violence. A lot of the members also participated in an event called Freedom Rides. After Rosa Parks was arrested for not giving up her seat the African American community became enraged and boycotted all public transit systems. One of the last things the group did was participate in Freedom Summer. Durig this Members of the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), along with more than 1,000 out-of-state, white people led a campaign to register as many black voters as possible. Everything was going smoothly until members of The Ku Klux Klan accompanied by the police carried out a series of violent attacks against everyone there resulting in false arrests and the murder of at least three people.
