SNCC organized efforts to register African Americans to vote in the southern states during the Civil Rights Movement. Their efforts were met with intense opposition from local authorities, including violent attacks, intimidation, and harassment. Many African Americans who attempted to register to vote were denied their rights, threatened, or even physically harmed. Despite these challenges, SNCC was able to make some progress in increasing African American voter registration in the South, which helped pave the way for greater civil rights advancements in the years to come.
