SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Tom Hayden, a 1960s anti-war activist whose name became forever linked with the celebrated Chicago Seven trial, Vietnam War protests and his ex-wife Jane Fonda, has died. He was 76.

He died on Sunday after a long illness, said his wife, Barbara Williams, noting that he suffered a stroke in 2015.

Hayden, once denounced as a traitor by his detractors, won election to the California Assembly and Senate, where he served for almost two decades as a progressive force.
