Project Participants • George’s class: Alexandre, Susanne, Aiko, Nana, Kyong Lim, Kyoko, Dominik, Lisa, Yeon Jae, Haruyasu 04/30/2010 We had a project in our class on April 28, 2010 with our teacher “George”. We are glad that we had this opportunity to visit Haight Street, Why? Haight Ashbury is one of San Francisco’s most popular districts. That’s the place where the hippy-culture began. During the late 1960s and early 1970s the Flower Power started. This was a slogan that was a symbol of passive resistance and non-violent ideology. Hippies expressed themselves by wearing bright colors and flowers in their hair. You can find many hippy clothing stores, especially second hand shops and smoking shops like Wasteland and World Famous. That’s one big reason why the hippies feel at home in 'The Haight'!
