happy and free. Hippies catch my eye the most. With the tye-dye shirts, long hair, sexual promiscuity and recreational drugs like marijuana and hallucinogens like LSD, the hippy life is the life for me. The primary concern for hippies was about being happy, not what others thought it should be. Their “ if if feels good, do it” attitude included little thought or concern for the consequences.

watched Earl Weaver’s production of Hair at UCF’s theatre (“Hair”). The story followed a medley of hippies dealing with their individual problems. The musical was like a psychedelic trip back to the 60’s with colorful lighting, showy clothing, and “far out” lingo.

believing that the “traditional” values of American life were what had produced the war in Vietnam, racism, and a lot of other ugliness. The shock troops in this “cultural war,” at least as most Americans saw it, were the longhaired “freaks” and “hippies” of what was then called the “counterculture.” It was the counterculture, more than the antiwar movement or Black Power groups, that seemed to many older Americans to be the most threatening to their family and loved ones. Far more young people

the Whites that were in the hippie movement. Hippies often accepted Blacks in their movement and saw the Black Panther Party as a great opposition to United States imperialism. The Black Party’s leaders also viewed the hippies as allies rather than enemies. The Black Panther wrote, “Black brothers stop vamping on the hippies. They are not your enemy.
