40 Years Ago

Forty years ago this weekend, on Easter Sunday 1967, was the Great Human Be-In in New York's Central Park. (Scroll down for earlier entries on this memory.)

What was remarkable about this event is more about what it wasn't. It wasn't a protest, or a concert. It wasn't organized in any normal way. It didn't devolve into violence. It wasn't a picnic, or a rally. Just a few thousand people celebrating the end of a particularly boring winter on an especially nice day in the park. And, it was not something our parents would have done. I think that pretty much sums it up. And this is the way I'll always remember it.
