This is a flyer produced by the Student Interracial Committee (SIC) at the University of Texas at Austin that outlines the organization’s goals, methods, and rationale for its activism. It calls for the elimination of racial discrimination in Austin, particularly in areas affecting students, and emphasizes nonviolent protest strategies, including demonstrations, picketing, and collaboration with other civil rights groups. The document features ongoing segregation in student housing and public accommodations following the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and critiques the lack of meaningful action by local government. The flyer concludes with an invitation to attend an upcoming SIC meeting. Alice Embree's name is misspelled as Alice Embry.
