The Port Huron Statement was the most important manifesto of the New Left student movement of the 1960s.

Marc Notes: 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, this book probes the origins, content, and contemporary influence of the document that heralded the emergence of a vibrant New Left in American culture and politics.
