Haight-Ashbury, 1960s |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Haight-Ashbury, a neighborhood in San Francisco, California, was the center of the hippie movement in the 1960s. As the popularity of the movement increased, many people flocked to the area, leading to an increase in crime, the gradual deterioration of the neighborhood, and the decline of the hippie image. To escape this negative association, members of the movement decided to symbolically “kill off” the hippies by holding mock funerals. | ||||||
