The Long Sixties: From 1960 to Barack Obama (Paradigm)

Longtime activist Tom Hayden will discuss and sign his new book about
how Barack Obama's presidency wouldn't be possible without the Sixties.

After
forty years of activism, politics, and writing, no one is more
qualified to write about the sixties and its legacy than Tom Hayden.
From his days as a founding member of the Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS), freedom rider in the deep South, and prominent Vietnam
War protester to today, Hayden remains a leading voice for reforming
politics through greater citizen participation. The author of seventeen
books and the original Port Huron Statement
- long considered the founding document of the sixties movement - he
has more recently authored Voices of the Chicago 8: A Generation on Trial (2008) and Writings for a Democratic Society: The Tom Hayden Reader (2008).  He continues to write for The Nation and many other magazines.
