In Georgia, the SNCC primarily concentrated its civil rights organizing in which cities?

Explanation:
SNCC’s Georgia organizing was built around two main centers: Albany, where the Albany Movement mobilized students and local residents to challenge segregation in public accommodations and voting access, making it a defining example of SNCC’s rural-urban strategy and use of nonviolent direct action; and Atlanta, which served as a major urban hub with multiple historically black colleges and universities, a large Black community, and state leadership, enabling SNCC to train activists, coordinate statewide efforts, and connect with national networks. While other Georgia cities had civil rights activity, Albany and Atlanta were the core focus for SNCC’s Georgia campaigns.
