From the Miller (Michael J.) Civil Rights Collection; The transcription of a meeting of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) staff from the North discusses emerging issues in the organization. Mainly, the discussion centers on whether SNCC's activity focus should remain in the South or extend to community problems in the North as well. Much of the meeting is spent debating what branch groups do for SNCC and when these groups should be allowed to use SNCC's name. Staff members also suggest ways of making publicity preparation more efficient.
