The author, journalist, politician and one of the organizers of the anti-war protests at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, died yesterday in California. He was 76.

Here & Now's Robin Young had a chance to speak with Hayden at the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia this summer. He had suffered a stroke and was in a wheelchair.

But while his body was failing him, his mind was not — Hayden was still speaking out. Today, we're revisiting that conversation, which aired in July.

Guest

Tom Hayden, former activist, author, politician and director of the Peace and Justice Resource Center.

This segment aired on October 24, 2016.
