Chalres McDew was born in Massillion, Ohio, on 23rd June, 1938. He is still active in education, labor organizing and politics. In his own words: "My career as an activist began while I was a freshman at South Carolina State College in Orangeburg, South Carolina. I was elected as student leader by my fellow demonstrators in the sit-in movement. Influenced by Rabbi Hillel's dictum, 'If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?' I participated in the founding of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in 1960. I was elected as Chairman of SNCC in 1961 and served in that capacity until 1964. Under my leadership, SNCC expanded its community organizing activities, penetrating into those parts of the South deemed too dangerous for organizers by traditional civil rights programs.
