In 1962, a group of college students met at a union retreat in
Port Huron, Michigan—and wrote a document that changed political activism in America. Known as the Port Huron Statement, it became the foundation of the
Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and launched the New Left movement of the 1960s.
