NOTES FOR POSITION PAPERS NEVER WRITTEN Notes for position papers never written: What we do as SNCC, aoparently isn't important enough for us as SNCC to decide. I guess we need a few people (qualified). Cause they can decide. Cause we as SNCC Are too clumsy with ourselves. It follows from the discussions in SNCC, that I should set up a structure to govern me. What does it mean for SNCC to be free? Really fre^ - to burst out of ourselves. Can we (SNCC) survive the explosion? Could we try? But we have a Movement to run/organize Our ability/efforts to run/organize things would slow down We have "no time" to know/touch deeply, each other or ourselves. "No time" to believe what we can do, or even find out Being free is risky/disruptive/obstructs. So I guess we'll have to concern ourselves with running/organizing the "revolution". The question WHO ARE SNCC'S DIS-FRANCHISED seems disturbing to "our way of life" I move that SNCC have a flexible number of administrative assistants (between 200-250).

Title | King--SNCC Position Papers & Reports, undated (Mary E. King papers , 1962-1999; Z: Accessions, M82-445, Box 1, Folder 19) |
Author/Creator | King, Mary E., 1940- |
Folder Description | Though undated and mostly unattributed, at least a couple of the items in this folder seem to be from the Waveland retreat as they are expressions of insiders' unhappiness with SNCC's lack of organization and of the general style of left-wingers. Others deal with SNCC recruitment on southern Negro college campuses; with tensions between SNCC headquarters and field staff, between paid staff and volunteers; with suggestions for training new volunteers in community organizing; with SNCC's financial and fundraising difficulties; on the differences between Jane Stembridge's education and Fannie Lou Hamer's; on federal programs; on federal civil rights authority; and detailed accounts of SNCC activities in Arkansas and in Selma, Alabama, from 1960 or 1961. There's also an agenda for a December 1964 conference on "The Movement--the Student--The Upper South"; a proposal for "Washington [D.C.] Studies"; Jimmy Garrett's proposal for a "Mississippi European Exchange Student Program" in order to focus international attention on the South's shameful behavior; Ed Hamlett's concerns about SNCC's "conservative and slow-moving" relationship to white-dominated organizations; Dona Richards' proposal for a SNCC-African project; and a fascinating first-person account of John Lewis' and Don Harris' report of their December 1964 trip to 19 African countries, just after Malcolm X had made a big impression visiting many of the same people and places, and also describing the first independence day in Zambia. Two writers--Jane Stembridge and Dona Richards--give inspiring descriptions of Fannie Lou Hamer's self-confidence and joy. The December 1964 first-person account by John Lewis and Don Harris of their trip to 19 African countries is amazing. The trip took place on the heels of Malcolm X's similar trip. They not only witnessed the powerful impression Malcolm X had left with Africans, but had a chance to meet with him face to face themselves. They were also witnesses to Zambia's first day of independence and to Haile Selassie's 32nd inaguration as emperor of Ethiopia. |
