The 1962 Port Huron Statement, crafted by the Students for a Democratic Society, revolutionized political thought by advocating for participatory democracy. It emphasized grassroots involvement and challenged the prevailing political norms of the time, calling for a more engaged citizenry in the democratic process. This influential document sparked dialogue and action around social justice, civil rights, and anti-war movements, making it a cornerstone of 1960s activism.
