Port Huron Statement

The Port Huron Statement was a founding document of the student protest movement in the 1960s, created by students at the University of Michigan in 1962. It expressed concerns about social injustice, inequality, and war, advocating for active participation in democracy, greater social responsibility, and the need for change to create a more just and equitable society. The statement emphasized the importance of student activism as a way to challenge ineffective government and societal systems, encouraging young people to think critically and work toward positive social transformation.
