From his time as a Freedom Rider in the 60s to his career as a US Senator (1992-2000), Tom Hayden has been a tireless advocate for the anti-war, environmental and civil rights movements. Join Hayden at Vroman’s for a discussion about his new book, “Writings for a Democratic Society,” a collection of personal, political and cultural essays that span over fifty years of political activism. Described by the NY Times as the “single greatest figure of the 1960s student movement,” Hayden has never abandoned his fight for social justice. Hayden’s other recently published book “Voices of the Chicago Eight: A Generation on Trial” will also be touched on.
