Flower power! I remember it well — and that flower book looks familiar :).
The children’s book looks very similar (if not identical) to the one my kindergarten teacher read to us. Interesting, isn’t it, the things we remember?
It reminds me of all the Golden Books I loved so much as a child. Takes me right back!
Close. The protester’s name was George Harris and he was later to be a flamboyant gay activist and founder of the Cockettes. More here. I love that picture.
Oh, thank you Erin–for the correction and that link! I meant to type George Harris, but maybe I was thinking about the Beatles. 🙂
Groovy!
I love the second picture. Is amazin how a simple image can tell more than a thousand words.
I remember that book, too!
And those bell bottoms… 🙂
Right on!! Flower power will never die!
