Description
A pamphlet published by the SDS in 1966, collecting excerpts from the "Port Huron Statement," a statement clarifying SDS's founding convention. The statement was first drafted in 1962, and was edited several times during the Vietnam War period. Therefore, it includes SDS's proposals for peaceful solutions to the Vietnam crisis. From 1962 to 1966, SDS printed and reprinted 65,000 copies of the pamphlet in total to distribute among college students all over the U.S. for a price of 10 cents per copy, aiming at both propagating its ethos and recruiting new student members. The copy presented here is the third edition of the pamphlet.
