KEY COMPONENTS OF SUCCESSFUL SOCIAL MOVEMENTS

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"For me, the most important lesson
[of the Freedom Movement] is that by respecting the fact that fellow activists could passionately disagree over strategy and tactics—yet remain allies—they strengthened SNCC and the Movement as a whole."

For the next ten years, the CAAAE plans to help districts, who send representatives to this year's institute, to apply the pedagogies and the practices that will help close the racial opportunity gap. This year's dynamic format is designed to signal that transition.
