<\/a>Please join us for a conversation with five veterans of the Civil Rights Movement in Southwest Georgia. In 1961, field secretaries from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Commitee (SNCC) came to Albany, GA to begin orgainzing around voting rights. Born in Southwest, Georgia, Janie Cuthbert Rambeau<\/strong>, Annette Jones White<\/strong> and Shirley Sherrod<\/strong> joined SNCC’s work and helped build what became an ongoing and locally-sustained movement for justice. Together with northern SNCC staff, Faith Holseart<\/strong> and Larry Rubin<\/strong>, these young activist played a critical role in SNCC’s organizing efforts in the Southwest Georgia region. Participants in this panel will discuss each of their experiences in the Movement and reflect on what made the movemnt in Southwest Georgia so strong. Charlie Cobb<\/strong>, a fellow SNCC organizer, will facilitate the conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
