Presentation transcript:

A movement made up mostly of white, middle-class college youths who had grown disillusioned with the war in Vietnam and injustices in America during the 1960’s. Instead of challenging the system, they turned their backs on traditional America and tried to establish a whole new society based on peace and love. Although their heyday was short lived, their legacy remains.

Influenced by the nonconformist beat movement of the 1950’s, hippies embraced the credo of Harvard professor Timothy Leary: “Tune In, Turn On, Drop Out.” Timothy Leary

The hippie era was marked by rock ‘n’ roll music, outrageous clothing, sexual license, and illegal drugs.

“How does it feel to be without a home… like a rolling stone?” -Bob Dylan

By the mid sixties, Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco was known as the hippie capital of America, mainly because California did not outlaw hallucinogenic drugs until You Tube: Summer of Love 1967

Some hippies rejected conventional home life and joined communes in which members renounced private property to live communally.

In August, 1969, on a farm in upstate New York, more than 400,000 showed up for a free music festival called “Woodstock Music and Art Fair.” This festival represented, as one songwriter put it, “the ’60s movement of peace and love and some higher cultural cause.”

After only a few years, the counterculture’s peace and harmony gave way to violence, disillusionment, and drug abuse. As the mystique of the 1960’s wore off, thousands of hippies lined up at government offices to collect welfare and food stamps— dependent on the very society they had once rejected.

While the counterculture eventually faded, its casual “do your own thing” philosophy can be seen today in more liberal attitudes toward dress and appearance, lifestyle, and social behavior.
