\"Img0020\"<\/a>\u00a0Flower children, hippies, acid freaks, drop outs, college students, political activists, middle-class tourists, and even some military personnel, all of them were there in San Francisco during\u00a0the Summer of Love in 1967. \u00a0The Haight-Ashbury district commonly known\u00a0as the Haight was one of the main\u00a0origins of the hippie subculture movement. \u00a0Hunter S. Thompson aptly named it “Hashbury” and it became a community based on drugs, sexual freedom, music, and other counterculture ideals. \u00a0L’Aventure Hippie<\/em> is a French text that takes a look at the rise and fall of the hippies. \u00a0The\u00a0visuals within the volume consist of posters, photographs, comics, and albums just to name a few. \u00a0In particular psychedelic rock music was just about entering the mainstream during this time and bands\u00a0like the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Janis Joplin were extremely popular. \u00a0Their appeal was magnified by the fact that they only lived a few streets away from the Haight.<\/p>\n

\"Img0019\"<\/a>This Summer of Love that exploded in popularity quickly soured as the area couldn’t accommodate the incredible influx of people. \u00a0Soon overcrowding, drug problems, homelessness, hunger, and crime were afflicting the area. \u00a0These issues combined with the natural departure of people (many of them college students) led to the Haight staging a mock funeral known as “The Death of the Hippie” that fall.<\/p>\n

As Mary Kaspar put it- We wanted to signal that this was the end of it, don’t come out. Stay where you are! Bring the revolution to where you live. Don’t come here because it’s over and done with.<\/strong><\/p>\n
