When the legendary strategist, Ms. Ella Baker, called the young sit-in leaders together at SNCC’s founding conference at Shaw University in 1960, she emphasized in her speech that the struggle had to be for “more than a hamburger.”pic.twitter.com/70dVoAi7lQ
She wanted the young activists to understand that the goals of their movement had to be much broader than what they could envision at that moment...
...reminding them that segregated lunch counters were just the most visible examples of the larger, systemic web of racial, political and economic inequality.
This was the informational wealth that she passed on and that continues to live within SNCC veterans today.
We, too, feel a deep responsibility to share our own informational wealth. And, like Ms. Baker, we recognize that this must be done by working collaboratively with young people, understanding - and learning from - their issues and organizing concerns.
This April 2020 Convening will provide a unique and historic opportunity for 1960’s Movement veterans to discuss -- among themselves and with younger activists -- the lessons learned and the variety of challenges facing today’s organizers.
