In this episode we talk to Jennifer Lawson and Charlie Cobb about the organizing of SNCC and their own experiences and political development through the Black Freedom Movement in the 60's. They touch on Ella Baker, Fannie Lou Hamer, Kwame Ture & John Lewis …nnialsarekillingcapitalism.libsyn.com/no-place-to-si… Image
They dispel many common misconceptions about what it meant to be a part of an organization like SNCC, the Civil Rights Movement, Nonviolence and Self-Defense, and what they were doing in the rural South. …nnialsarekillingcapitalism.libsyn.com/no-place-to-si… Image

We also discuss the internationalism and international dimensions of struggle that were a part of the politics of SNCC organizers. They discuss women's work organizing in the party, and how little of their work in the deep rural south was about protesting …nnialsarekillingcapitalism.libsyn.com/no-place-to-si… Image
