The Port Huron Statement is the manifesto of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), written primarily by Tom Hayden and completed on June 15, 1962.

"We are the people of this generation . . . looking uncomfortably to the world we inherit."

The main concerns included racial bigotry, nuclear weapons, and the paradoxes between the ideas that "all men are created equal" and "the facts of Negro life in the South and the big cities of the North."
