"Conceived at the same conference that produced the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the Student Interracial Ministry (SIM) was a national organization devoted to dismantling Jim Crow while simultaneously advancing American Protestant mainline churches' approach to race. In this book, David P. Cline details how the seminary students of SIM influenced hundreds of thousands of community members through its racial reconciliation and economic justice projects"--|c Provided by publisher.
