INTRODUCTORY NOTE: This document represents the results of several
months of writing and discussion among the membership, a draft paper,
and revision by the Students for a Democratic Society national convention
meeting in Port Huron, Michigan, June 11-15, 1962. It is presented as
a document with which SDS officially identifies, but also as a living
document open to change with our times and experiences. It is a beginning:
in our own debate and education, in our dialogue with society.
The Port Huron Statement was first published and distributed by the
Students for a Democratic Society, 112 East 19 Street, New York, NY.
