Questions about Tom Hayden

1.what did you think of Tom Hayden?

Tom Hayden was ok. he talked about interesting issues but i didn't follow everything that well. i think he would have appealed to college students more instead of high schoolers. of maybe even juniors of seniors in high school. but the way he spoke about many issues also made them interesting. he does seem like a good writer and puts a different perspective into other people's minds.
2.Tom Hayden does not think of himself as a civil rights leader. Do you see hom as one? why or why not?

i don't see him as a civil rights leader. to be a civil rights leader in my opinion you have to give speeches ang get the attention of hundreds or thousands of people for a cause that the majority of the population would agree with. he was an activist, a writer and supported these ideas but was not a leader, he was more of a supporter.

3.Tom Hayden fels that leaders are not as important as the hundreds or thousands of people behind them. what does he mean by that?

the leaders are the face of the issue, and represents what is going on. the people behind them make the issue or goal actually happen. without thousand of people behind Martin Luther King, he wouldn't have the attention he had. for example, the PPC would most likely never have taken place without supporters. the supporters are the most likely the majority of the population, so they actually achieve the main goal.
