The Port Huron Project is a series of reenactments of protest speeches from the New Left movements of the 1960s and '70s. Each event takes place at the site of the original speech, and is delivered by a performer to an audience of invited guests and passers-by. Videos, audio recordings, and photographs of these performances are presented in various venues and distributed online and on DVD as open-source media.

The first event in the series, Port Huron Project 1: Until the Last Gun Is Silent, took place on September 16, 2006 and was based on a speech given by Coretta Scott King at a peace march in Central Park in 1968.

The second reenactment, Port Huron Project 2: The Problem Is Civil Obedience, took place on July 14, 2007. It was based on a speech originally delivered by author and activist Howard Zinn at a peace march on Boston Common in 1971.

The third reenactment, based on a speech given in 1965 by SDS President Paul Potter, took place on July 26, 2007 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Three additional reenactments are planned for 2008; these will be produced by Creative Time.
