More information about this article... The following comments have been left for this page: According to Taylor Branch's book Pillar of Fire: America in the King Years 1963-65, Bob Moses quit SNCC in Feb of 1965, not in 1966, when Stokely Carmichael and the black power movement took over. According to Branch, who cites several sources, after making a speech to a gathering of SNCC staff workers in Atlanta (during which he announced he was changing his surname to Parris), Moses left the meeting and "never attended another SNCC meeting."

[edit] Voting restrictions

Where the article says "...under legal restrictions which made it nearly impossible for black citizens to qualify to vote..." it would be really helpful to readers (and to myself...) if a link was put in which allowed the reader to know what these legal restrictions were (as well as how and why they made it nearly impossbile..to qualify to vote. This is important background for people to know. I'm hoping someone else can add that in, someone who would know the best wikipedia entries AND external site link for background on this) --Harel 17:30, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
