Kids Ready To Board The School Bus
Here is a photo of children as they lined up in pairs to get on the school bus after class. The schoolkids can be seen wearing clothes and styles considered popular in those days. Many of the children also have lunch pails with them! This is a great way to show what life was like back in the ‘60s.
Nowadays, most people refuse to send their kids to and from school on the school bus as much as they could. Many parents want to drop off and then pick up the kids by themselves instead. No one can even fathom letting their kids walk a couple of blocks without parental supervision! It wasn’t like that before.
Smoking A Cigarette At The Park
You can see this young California hippie resting on the grass during the Human-Be-In gathering held at the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco sometime in July 1967. The hippie subculture relies on the core beliefs of art, nature, music, open-mindedness, and community living.
The lifestyle has also been linked to recreational drug use. This has tarnished the reputation of the members of this subculture. At any rate, it is cool to remember that these were the same people associated with anti-war protests, Woodstock, and other cultural developments of the decade. San Francisco was a huge hub for the free love movement, and the influence persists to this day.
