Letter, Charles Smith to Ed [Hamlett]; April 20, 1964

Identifier: mus_m376_0030

Description: From the Hamlett (Ed) White Folks Project Collection. The letter from Charles Smith to Ed [Hamlett] bears a stamp from the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) chapter at The University of Texas at Austin. Smith writes that he has applied to the Jackson office of Council of Federated Organizations and that he wants to learn about community organizing activities by working as a Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) volunteer. He also asks whether, if he cannot raise funds to be self-sufficient, SNCC can subsidize his work for them. He writes about SDS activities at UT Austin, including a recent meeting at which Mark Lane spoke about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the investigation of Oswald. Smith makes a case for increased cooperation among three civil rights-oriented groups: SDS, SNCC, and the Southern Student Organizing Committee (SSOC).
