nonviolence.

degree – what “praxis” and “sociodrama” are/were in the
context of the course materials
2. In your, now more informed opinion, what made
SNCC unique in their role and participation within the larger Civil Rights

3. What lessons can be learned from, or
connections made between the philosophy, strategies, and work of SNCC then, to
