LISTEN and TALK WITH TOM HAYDEN on TRUTH TO TELL OCTOBER 8 at 11AM - KFAI:
³Tom Hayden changed America,² wrote national correspondent Nicholas Lemann
in The Atlantic.
He was the ³single greatest figure of the 1960s student movement,² according
to The New York Times.
Tom Hayden, founder of Students for Democratic Society, is an American
social and political activist and politician, most famous for his
involvement in the anti-war and civil rights movements of the 1960s.
Hayden¹s continued influence in American culture spans fifty years.
He was a famed sixties radical, then a long-term California state senator,
an acclaimed author and teacher at many universities, formerly married to
actress/activist Jane Fonda.
Today, he is passionate opponent of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the
polluting quest for oil, and sweatshop conditions across the planet. He not
only writes about these subjects, but works toward their realization as a
close adviser to many politicians, peace and human rights groups.
