DESCRIPTION:HISTORIC EVENT AT CITY LIGHTS!\n\nFor the very first time, Tom Hayden comes 
 to City Lights Bookstore for a reading and informal talk, launching the 
 national tour of his new book Writings for a Democratic Society: The Tom 
 Hayden Reader (City Lights, 2008).\n\nThursday, April 10th, 2008   
 7pm\nCity Lights Bookstore\n261 Columbus Avenue in North Beach, San 
 Francisco\nFree\n\nOn Thursday, April 10th, 2008 at 7:00pm, the legendary 
 Tom Hayden, will speak at City Lights Bookstore, launching the national 
 tour of his new book, Writings for a Democratic Society: The Tom Hayden 
 Reader (published by City Lights).\n\nFor the last fifty years, Tom Hayden 
 has been an outspoken advocate for civil rights, social justice, 
 environmental protection and peace. He has also been a prolific writer, 
 documenting and exploring a profound and constant search for alternatives 
 to the injustices of modern America.\n\nIt was Martin Luther King who first 
 encouraged Hayden, a young writer, to cross the line from observation to 
 direct action. In Writings for a Democratic Society, a collection of 
 Hayden’s essential political, personal, and cultural writings spanning 
 his fifty years of active political life, we see him crossing that line 
 over and over. From his earliest days as a Freedom Rider in the segregated 
 South to his involvement in the street protests of 1968; from his years on 
 the forefront of the anti-Vietnam War movement to his many years of service 
 as a California state legislator, Tom Hayden’s writings celebrate and 
 affirm an alternative American experience and constitute nothing less than 
 a history of our times.\n\nTom Hayden is the author of many books and 
 articles. Currently, he lives with his family in Los Angeles and teaches 
 sociology at Pitzer College in the Claremont Colleges.  He served in the 
 California Legislatures for 18 years, chairing committees on the 
 environment, labor, and higher education. He serves on the editorial board 
 of The Nation, and writes regularly in his column on The Huffington 
 Post.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
