SUMMARY:Remembering Tom Hayden: A Life of Activism and Radical Reform
DESCRIPTION:moderated by Steve Wasserman\, with Clara Bingham\, Willie Brown Jr.\, and Judy Gumbo \npresented by Mechanics’ Institute Library in conjunction with City Lights and Yale University Press \nTom Hayden\, the principal author in 1962 of the founding manifesto of Students for a Democratic Society\, the Port Huron Statement\, led an extraordinary life of organizing\, writing\, and political reform. He put himself on the line during Mississippi Summer in 1964\, was a principal opponent of the Vietnam War\, a defendant in the Chicago Seven trial\, and served nearly 20 years in the California legislature. His death in Santa Monica at age 76 in October 2016 offers an occasion to think more deeply about the prospects of change and making history in America\, past\, present\, and future. \nThis evening we celebrate the release of \nHell No: The Forgotten Power of the Vietnam Peace Movement \nBy Tome Hayden \npublished by Yale University Press \n“Hell no” was the battle cry of the largest peace movement in American history-the effort to end the Vietnam War\, which included ?thousands of veterans. The movement was divided among radicals\, revolutionaries\, sectarians\, moderates\, and militants\, which legions of paid FBI informants and government provocateurs tried to destroy. Despite these obstacles millions? marched\, resisted the draft on campuses\, and forced two sitting presidents from office. This movement was a watershed in our history\, yet today it is in danger of being forgotten\, condemned by its critics for everything from cowardice to stab-in-the-back betrayal. In this indispensable ?essay\, Tom Hayden\, a principal anti-Vietnam War organizer\, ?calls to account elites who want to forget the Vietnam peace movement and ?excoriates those who trivialize its ?impact\, engage in caricature of protestors and question their patriotism. In so doing\, he seeks both a reckoning and a healing of national memory. \nCritical Praise for Hello No:
