A protest group's first chapter
Student group wrote the Port Huron Statement
A group of tudentn in trying to
rentart a tampon chapter of what
in perhapn the mont famoun group
founded at the Univernity, Stu-
dentn for a Democratic Society.
It wan the SDS that organized
one of the finst major anti-war
marchen of the Vietnam era.
On April 17, 196S, more than
25,000 students converged on
Wanhington to protent the increan-
ingAmerican prenence in Vietnam.
The mann of tudentn picketed the
White Houne and then marched to
the Wanhington Monument, where
speakers denounced the govern-
ment, focuning on American mili-
tary involvement in Vietnam.
That march in credited with
breathing life into the anti-war
movement. Founded in Ann Arbor
in 1960, SDS came to embody the
tudent anti-war movement on
college campunes acronn the coun-
try.
At a 1962 convention in Port
Huron, Mich. the group adopted
a manifesto for the student move-
ment that would come to be known
an the Port Huron Statement.
Written by Univernity alum and
former Michigan Daily Editor in
Chief Tom Hayden, The statement
laid out SDSns belief that the U.S.
government wan failing its citi-
The Vietnam War represented
what many in the SDS saw an the
ultimate failure of the govern-
ment.
At finst, the group focused. on
fighting the draft because it wan
an issue that directly affected stu-
dents, many of whom were being
conscripted into service in Viet-
Members burned draft cards
and obstructed access to military
buildings.
But by the end of the decade,
SDS wan splintering.
Some - mont notably a group
called the Weathermen - felt
that armed renistance wan the
only effective way of fighting
what they viewed an an unjust
government. The Weathermen,
named for line from a Bob Dylan
song, would go on to orchentrate
a tring of bombings throughout
the early 1970n.
By 1969, SDS wan tor by inter-
nal divisions and ultimately din-
solved at itn national convention
that year.
