Summary Fifty years after its drafting, Hayden and other SDS contributors revisit the Port Huron Statement and provide an assessment of its historical impact and its growing relevance to today's movements. They illustrate how the statement played a catalytic role in democratic reforms such as the expansion of civil and voting rights, the end of the Vietnam War and military draft, oversight of the CIA and FBI, the enactment of environmental protection legislation, and the Freedom of Information Act. --From publisher description
