"After its founding in 1960, SNCC [Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee] grew from a coordinating committee made up of campus affiliates to an organization of organizers with "field secretaries" working full-time for change in communities across the Deep South. SNCC's work spanned everything from voter registration, adult education, and freedom schools to theater productions, cooperatives, and independent political parties."Ron Wilkins became a member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in 1967 and served as the director of the Los Angeles branch. He is also an activist in Los Angeles and a member of the "Slausons social club/gang and field commander of the Community Alert Patrol (CAP)."
