He first came to notice for his travels to the South to cover scenes of civil rights struggle and the movement then bursting into history. Then during the summer of 1960, Hayden was reporting from California, on the new breed of student rebel at Berkeley, on farmworker conditions in Delano, and a conversation with Edward Teller, the father of the H-bomb, at the Livermore Nuclear Lab. And then there was Hayden at the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles, watching JFK&rsquo;s nomination and interviewing Martin Luther King Jr. as he led pickets in the streets outside the convention arena. In the fall of 1960, Hayden became editor in chief of the Daily, writing full-page articles declaring the birth of an American student movement.&nbsp; He was 20 that year.</p><div class="arts_culture_bookbox"> Mickey and I, just married, were in Ann Arbor, where I was working toward a Ph.D. in social psychology. We&rsquo;d gone there from New York City, both of us red diaper babies, disillusioned with communism&rsquo;s betrayals, harboring no expectations that we&rsquo;d ever find a way to restore political hope, enjoying instead our breakaway from the provincialism of the City, and discovering at that moment cultural possibilities unknown to New Yorkers. Ann Arbor was humming with film and electronic music festivals, &ldquo;happenings,&rdquo; coffeehouses and bookstores where young writers and artists could find voice and space that would not have been possible in the big city. Tom Hayden&rsquo;s articles in the Daily became part of that ferment. We read them avidly, seeing them not as mere reportage, but as an effort to construct an exciting political myth&mdash;that Cold War apathy and conformism might be replaced by a new, youthful protest and dissent, spawned by the civil-rights movement, seeking possibilities for personal commitment and social renewal. We weren&rsquo;t yet ready to believe his story line, but we certainly wanted to hear it. <p>&nbsp;</p></div></p> </div> <a href="/blog/41902-brave-new-review-tom-hayden-s-writings-for-a-democratic-society">Continue reading</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/41872-south-korea-s-culture-of-protest 2008-06-18T12:46:00Z aljazeera <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/p3QIuH4FwbY&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/p3QIuH4FwbY&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/41872-south-korea-s-culture-of-protest"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/47212" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p><p>Thousands of protesters have held rallies in South Korea&#39;s capital Seoul this week as they continue their campaign against the lifting of a ban on US beef imports. </p><p>Street protests, sometimes involving extreme measures, are an important part of Korean culture.

At a time of unprecedented scapegoating and rising hate crimes against Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the United States, after having lost his beloved son to the illegal war in Iraq, with very little English ability, this man continues to criss-cross the nation and the globe with his plea for justice and peace. He is Cindy Sheehan, if Cindy had been born in Mexico, if Cindy had traveled repeatedly to Iraq to help the children harmed by war there.&nbsp;</p><p>I had the honor to meet Mr. Suarez some years back, and there was something of Ghandi to him.&nbsp;I am sad to say his recent emails have been depressing in tone, weary, as though he is close to giving up. He is stunned by the apathy, the brutality, and, worst of all, the hostility he has met in the&nbsp;Mexican and Mexican-American&nbsp;communities of the nation, where his message of peace, and his encouragement of Latino kids to stay OUT of the military (where we are dying in much higher proportion to our population size), is&nbsp;too often criticized as unpatriotic. God bless you, Mr. Suarez. Keep fighting the good fight, sir. You are a hero, and today I think of your son, and your loss, and I send you positive energy and love.</p></p> </div> <a href="/blog/40158-remembering-jesus-on-memorial-day">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/40118-ex-president-indonesia-on-track-10-years-on-26-may-2008 2008-06-10T15:33:41Z aljazeera <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9IdL5EPdey4&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9IdL5EPdey4&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/40118-ex-president-indonesia-on-track-10-years-on-26-may-2008"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/45273" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>BJ Habibie took over as Indonesia president after Suharto resigned in 1998 amid mass protests.
