Port Huron Statement : ウィキペディア英語版 | Port Huron Statement
The Port Huron Statement is the 1962 manifesto of the North American student activist movement Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). It was written primarily by Tom Hayden, then the Field Secretary of SDS, with help from 58 other SDS members, and completed on June 15, 1962, at a United Auto Workers retreat in Port Huron, Michigan, for the group’s first national convention.〔〔("The Port Huron Statement: Still Radical at 50" ), ''In These Times'', April 25, 2012〕 A few years later, however, the SDS shifted away from labor unions and more towards the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).〔 In 1964, with the political climate drastically changing, a second printing of the manifesto was issued which included a disclaimer saying that most of the manifesto's original authors no longer agreed with what was written in the 1962 draft.〔http://isreview.org/issues/31/sds.shtml〕 ==Argument== The 25,700-word statement "articulated the fundamental problems of American society and laid out a radical vision for a better future".〔 It issued a nonideological call for participatory democracy, "both as a means and an end",〔 based on non-violent civil disobedience and the idea that individual citizens could help make "those social decisions determining the quality and direction" of their lives.〔Maurice Isserman and Michael Kazin, ''America Divided: The Civil War of the 1960s'' (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2000) 169.〕 Also known as the “Agenda for a Generation”, it "brought the term 'participatory democracy' into the common parlance".〔Thorne Webb Dreyer, ( "As Port Huron turns 50: Peace and justice activist Tom Hayden on Rag Radio" ), The Rag Blog, ''Rag Radio'', January 26, 2012.〕 It has been described as "a seminal moment in the development of the New Left"〔 and a "classic statement of () principles", but it also revealed the 1960s' tension between communitarianism and individualism. In particular, the statement viewed race ("symbolized by the Southern struggle against racial bigotry") and Cold War–induced alienation ("symbolized by the presence of the Bomb") as the two main problems of modern society.
