About Matt Jones

Matt Jones (1936 - 2011) was an activist in the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), one of the leading organizations in the Civil Rights Movement. Matt was a founding member of the organization’s singing ensemble, “The SNCC Freedom Singers”, which toured the United States as part of an organizing drive to build the Friends of SNCC. Jones said of the Freedom Singers, “We were organizers first, singers second.” Matt wrote many songs and stayed engaged in People’s Movements throughout his life. He was a stalwart figure in People’s Music Network for many years. PMN honors his legacy of promoting racial justice and building a multi-racial and inter-generational movement by maintaining this fund in his name.
