- Title
BLACK SOUTHERN STUDENT SIT-IN MOVEMENT: AN ANALYSIS OF INTERNAL ORGANIZATION.
- Authors
Morris, Aldon
- Abstract
This paper argues that the Southern sit-in movement of 1960, though it appears to have developed in the spontaneous manner described by classic collective behavior theory, actually grew out of pre-existing institutions and organizational forms. The spread of the sit-ins followed the networks of these pre-existing institutional relationships. Factors internal to the black community-churches, colleges, protest organizations, and leaders-were responsible for nurturing and developing the movement. The analysis is based on primary data collected from archives and interviews with civil rights leaders.
