Questions aboutTom Hayden

1)What do you think about Mr. Hayden?
I thought Mr. Hayden was a smart guy. He seemed very cool like the kind of person that could be your granddaddy. I think its cool that he interviewed Malcolm X, MLK, Corky Gonzales, etc.

2)Tom Hayden does not see himself as a civil Rights leader. Do you see him him as one why or why not?
I dont see him as a civil Rights leader because he only interviewed people its not like he interviewed the whole world. He also didnt hav speeches or changed the world. To me hes just a writer.

3)Tom Hayden feels that leaders are not as important as the hundreds or thousands of people behind them. What does he mean by that?
I dont get this question.
