The "Port Huron
Statement" is a manifesto
written by group of some forty-seven
students who gathered in Huron, Michigan on June 11, 1962. The
paper explains how the students spent four days brainstorming ideas before completing the sixty-four page document which provided a vision for America, one of seemingly Utopian ideals. This paper presents a brief analysis of the statement and looks at American society at the time that it was written.
