Back in 1967, in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district, thousands of young people took the streets trying to find some freedom, listen to some music and enjoy something bigger than them.
The Summer of Love left a cultural mark in everyone who experienced it and even people who didn’t. People were protesting in the way only they knew how to, challenging everything from politics to fashion.
Decades later, the spirit still remains and there’s impossibly cool photos that prove it. Showing a movement that was alive and inevitable.
