The SNCC Legacy Project created the Black Power Chronicles (BPC) in 2015 to help fill the informational void in the historical record about the impact of the Black Power Movement in local communities throughout America. From 2015-2021, BPC collected history, stories, insights, and testimony about the Black Power era of 1966-1998 as told by Black Power veterans who worked in their communities to build new programs and institutions across the country.
