In the mid sixties, a unique, never before seen culture spread through the United States, spurring both the Flower Power Movement, and also the broad revulsion of the routine citizen Americans. These people no longer wanted to bind themselves to the typical white-picket fenced rigid norms of society. These fresh, flower loving masses will soon be known as hippies.
The term “hippie” originally comes from “Hipster” became used to describe people who believe they’ve found their “technicolor heart”; children who had no grounded home, and believed in making love, not war.Their noticeable hostility of the United States involvement in the Vietnam War(1955-1975) and the troubled road to shared civil rights produced a new form of activism.
