The Port Huron Statement was the most important manifesto of the New Left student
movement of the 1960s. Initially drafted by Tom Hayden and debated over the course
of three days in 1962 at a meeting of student leaders, the statement was issued by
Students for a Democratic Society as their founding document. Its key idea, "participatory
democracy," proved a watchword for Sixties radicalism that has also reemerged in popular
protests from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street. Featuring essays by some of the
original contributors as well as prominent scholars who were influenced by the manifesto,
The Port Huron Statement probes the origins, content, and contemporary influence of
the document that heralded the emergence of a vibrant New Left in American culture
and politics. Opening with an essay by Tom Hayden that provides a sweeping reflection
on the document's enduring significance, the volume explores the diverse intellectual
and cultural roots of the Statement, the uneasy dynamics between liberals and radicals
that led to and followed this convergence, the ways participatory democracy was defined
and deployed in the 1960s, and the continuing resonances this idea has for political
movements today. An appendix includes the complete text of the original document.
The Port Huron Statement offers a vivid portrait of a unique moment in the history
of radicalism, showing that the ideas that inspired a generation of young radicals
more than half a century ago are just as important and provocative today
