- Note
- A founding member of Students for a Democratic Society, Betty Garman joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in March 1964, and as a member of its executive committee, helped plan the Oxford, Ohio orientation for the historic Mississippi Freedom Summer Project of 1964. Assigned to the SNCC headquarters in Greenwood, Mississippi, Garman helped organize the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party's challenge to be seated at the 1964 Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City. As SNCC Northern Coordinator, she initiated Friends of SNCC groups on college campuses, and co-authored, with Marion Barry, "SNCC: A Special Report on Southern School Desegregation" in 1966.
