DESCRIPTION:TOM HAYDEN SIGNING AND READING FROM “THE PORT HURON STATEMENT: THE 
 VISIONARY CALL OF THE 1960’S REVOLUTION”  New College of California in 
 San Francisco on December 5th  In 1962, Tom Hayden, 60’s student 
 activist, Chicago 8 defendant, author and California legislator for 18 
 years and 2005 Activist Faculty-in-Residence at New College, was a young 
 journalism student at the University of Michigan. With a group of other 
 idealistic students at a retreat site in Port Huron, he co-authored this 
 manifesto launching SDS: Students for a Democratic Society that would, at 
 over 100,000 strong, become the largest student organization in the 
 country, fully engaged in the civil rights and anti-Vietnam war movement as 
 well as  the call for greater democratic participation in the governance of 
 this country. The statement begins "We are people of this generation ... 
 now in universities, looking uncomfortably at the world we inherit" and 
 ends “if we appear to seek the unattainable, then let it be known that we 
 do so to avoid the unimaginable."  Come hear Tom read from this visionary 
 document and speak of its relevance for a new generation.  HOWARD ZINN, 
 author of A People’s History of the U.S. SAYS OF THIS NEW EDITION: “The 
 Port Huron Statement is one of those historic documents which represents an 
 era. It excited, educated, and inspired a whole generation of young people 
 to join the struggle against racial injustice, war, poverty, and the loss 
 of true democracy. Tom Hayden’s introductory essay is a brilliant 
 exposition on how those words of 1962 have critical meaning for the world 
 we live in now.”  THE PORT HURON STATEMENT with new introduction.  A 
 signing and reading by Tom Hayden     Monday, December 5th @ 7 pm  New 
 College of California, 777 Valencia Street, San Francisco
