He was a key organizer with the Civil Rights movements SNICK - the Student Non-Violent Co-ordinating committee which were the students foot soldiers for the organization of African peasants in the South. The day to day, month to month grassroots works done by these students when the media wasn't around characterize the work of SNCC setting up the framework for SCLC and Dr. Martin Luther King.
