        was the largest and most influential 
    US radical student organization of the 1960s. At its inception in 1960, there 
    were just a few dozen members, inspired by the civil rights movement and 
    initially concerned with equality, economic justice, peace, and 
    participatory democracy. With the escalation of the Vietnam War, SDS grew 
    rapidly as young people protested the destruction wrought by the US 
    government and military. Polite protest turned into stronger and more 
    determined resistance as rage and frustration increased all across the country.

			Activists from around the country who feel 
      that a student movement is desperately needed to carry on the struggle for 
      participatory democracy have formed a national organization, 
      also called Students for a Democratic Society.
