Voice of a Generation

"We are the people of this generation,” wrote Tom Hayden in 1962, “bred in at least moderate comfort, housed in universities, looking uncomfortably to the world we inherit.” After college, Hayden continued his activism from the streets of Chicago and Newark and a seat in the California State Legislature. He’s attended ten Democratic National Conventions — six times as a delegate. He authored or edited thirteen books and taught at Pitzer College, Occidental College and Harvard’s Institute of Politics.
