Charles "Chuck" Neblett (born 1941) was a civil rights activist. He is best known for helping to found The Freedom Singers.〔
==Early life and activism==
Neblett hails from Cairo, Illinois.〔 He took an interest in the Civil Rights Movement from a young age. His first awareness of the Movement was noticing that the schools he and his fellow African-Americans attended received inferior funding to white schools.〔"Former
Freedom Rider recalls civil rights movement at UW-W." ''Janesville Gazette'' (WI ) Sept. 28, 2012. ''Opposing Viewpoints in Context''. Nov. 6, 2015. Web.〕 When Emmett Till was murdered in 1955, the news profoundly affected Neblett.〔 It was in light of this tragedy that he realized as a black American he "had no rights that white people would respect."〔 He was the same age as Till at the time: fourteen. He knew then that he had to be a part of the Movement. "It was like I got religion." Neblett said.〔 Neblett attended Southern Illinois University. There he had his first chances to be involved in fighting for Civil Rights when he was recruited by the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). He met with success when he protested the discrimination in housing at the university. He took his complaints to the University President, and the President made changes the very next semester. Neblett said it was after this "I realized we could make a difference." 〔
