The Northern Student Movement (NSM) was an American civil rights organization founded at Yale University in 1961 by Peter J. Countryman (1942–1992). It grew out of the work of a committee formed by the New England Student Christian Movement.〔(Nina Mjagkij (ed.), ''Organizing Black America: An Encyclopedia of African American Associations'', New York: Garland Publishing, Inc., 2001, pp. 462-463. ) ISBN 0-8153-2309-3 In 1967, the New England Student Christian Movement changed its name to the University Christian Movement in New England. ()〕 Its initial convention, the Inter-Collegiate Conference on Northern Civil Rights, was held at Sarah Lawrence College in April 1962.〔, p. 181.〕 Countryman began NSM's work by collecting books for a predominantly African American college and raising funds for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). He then turned to organizing tutoring programs for inner city youth in northeastern cities. By 1963, NSM was reported to be helping as many as 3,500 children using 2,200 student volunteers from 50 colleges and universities.〔("Education: Down-to-Earth Idealism," ''Time'', May 17, 1963. )〕 NSM also encouraged direct-action protests, sending volunteers to sit-ins in the South and organizing rent strikes in the North.〔〔(Mandi Issacs Jackson, "Harlem's Rent Strike and Rat War: Representation, Housing Access and Tenant Resistance in New York, 1958-1964," ''American Studies'', University of Kansas, v. 47, no. 1, (2006) pp. 53-79. )〕〔(Jack Newfield, "The Student Left," ''The Nation'', May 10, 1965. )〕 Originally headquartered in New Haven, Connecticut, NSM moved to New York City.〔 (Abstract: Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) Conference, Raleigh, N.C., 2010 )〕 Countryman stepped down as NSM's executive director in 1963 and was replaced by William L. Strickland.〔(Northern Student Movement Records, 1961-1966, New York Public Library. ) Strickland later joined the W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst ().〕 The records of the Northern Student Movement, including a complete run of its periodical, ''Freedom North'', are on file with the Manuscripts, Archives and Rare Books Division of the New York Public Library.〔 ==Notes and references==
