Summary

An extensive experimental program to study spin physics at low and moderate
four-momentum transfer, Q$^2$, has been pursued by Jefferson Lab during the
last 15 years, with complementary measurements taking place in all 3
experimental halls. Our inclusive and semi-inclusive data with high
statistical precision and
extensive kinematic coverage allow us to better constrain the polarized
parton distributions, to accurately determine various moments
of spin structure functions, to test the spin content of valent quarks, and
to investigate the effects
of resonance excitations and higher twist, dominant in this kinematic
regime.
Highlights from 6 GeV experimental program will be shown
