===Interracial coalition===
While other white SNCC activists in the Broad Street Park, Greenwood, crowd that affirmed Carmichael's call for Black Power were bewildered, Peggy Terry recalls "there was never any rift in my mind or my heart. I just felt Black people were doing what they should be doing. We reached a period in the civil rights movement when Black people felt they weren't being given the respect they should have, and I agreed. White liberals ran everything."<ref>Amy Sony, James Tracy (2011), ''Hillbilly Nationalists, Urban Race Rebels, and Black Power: Community Organizing in Radical Times''. Brooklyn, Melville House. p. 53</ref> The message to white activists, "organize your own", was one that Terry took home with her to uptown, "Hillbilly Harlem", Chicago. This was the neighborhood in which, having taken the prompt the year before, [[Casey Hayden]] had already been working, organizing welfare mothers into a union. She was "on loan" from SNCC to [[Students for a Democratic Society]] (SDS). Like other new left groups, SDS did not view a self-consciously black SNCC as separatist. Rather it was seen as the vanguard of a prospective "interracial movement of the poor". Accepting the Vine Street challenge, the goal was no longer integration but what Chicago [[Black Panther Party|Black Panther]] leader [[Fred Hampton]] was to project as the "rainbow coalition".<ref>{{cite journal|first=Manfred|last=McDowell|year=2013|title=A Step into America: the New Left Organizes the Neighborhood|journal=[[New Politics (magazine)|New Politics]]|volume=XIV|issue=2 |pages=133–141}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://newpol.org/review/step-america/|title=A Step into America – New Politics|date=10 February 2013 |language=en-US|access-date=2019-12-17}}</ref>

In the South, as SNCC began turning them away white volunteers moved over to the New Orleans–based [[Southern Conference Education Fund]] with which Ella Baker had been working since the 1950s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://snccdigital.org/inside-sncc/alliances-relationships/scef/|title=Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF)|accessdate=Apr 2, 2023}}</ref> There, in effort to advance a coalition agenda, they joined [[Bob Zellner]], the SNCC's first white field organizer and son of a former Klansman, in working with [[Carl Braden|Carl]] and [[Anne Braden]] to organize white students and poor whites.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://snccdigital.org/people/bob-zellner/|title=Bob Zellner|accessdate=Apr 2, 2023}}</ref><ref>Bob Zellner (2008).
