24. I remember those "flower children" of the Sixty
I was a teenager.

They would open their houses without fear, welcoming, so free, eco-system friendly, peace, tied-dyed clothes, braless (they burned bras), head bands, flowers in hair, gypsy-like clothes, guitars, etc. That culture was so popular that it spreaded to UK and other countries.

Until the Charles Manson horror put an end to that great Sixty Culture. That's when they started locking their doors, buying guns, security systems, etc.

Pictures of hippie culture. Some are old, taken in the Sixty, some are recent, dressed as hippies for fun.
