About the Program
Since the early 1960s, Tom Hayden has been active in promoting social and economic justice in the United States. As a founding member of Students for a Democratic Society, Mr. Hayden was a prominent figure in the movement against the Vietnam War and was one of the eight people charged with conspiracy after leading street demonstrations in Chicago during the 1968 Democratic Convention. Later he served 18 years in the California State Assembly and Senate, and more recently has been active in preventing gang violence and ending the war in Iraq. Mr. Hayden recently published a collection of his writings on these and other topics.
He is interviewed by Jon Wiener, professor of history at University of California, Irvine. Prof. Wiener's books include "Historians in Trouble" and "Gimme Some Truth: The John Lennon FBI Files." Most recently he is the editor of "Conspiracy in the Streets: The Extraordinary Trial of the Chicago Eight," for which Tom Hayden wrote the foreword.
