- Flower power
Flower power was a
slogan used byhippie s (akaFlower Children ) during the late 1960s and early 1970s as a symbol ofnon-violence ideology . It is rooted in opposition to theVietnam War . They burned theirdraft card s and created a hippy culture. They dressed in flowery clothing and wore flowers in their hair. The expression is said to have been coined by the USpoet Allen Ginsberg in 1965. It has since been used in many places when referring to the sixties, including countless films, TV programs and documentaries.The "meeting place" for the Flower Power movement was based in
Amsterdam , theNetherlands in a club called Paradiso. The hippies chose this club because of the name paradiso, which reminded them of a peaceful place, paradise. Artists such asYoko Ono have since been performing there on occasional visits. Nowadays it is found next to aHard Rock Cafe and is a centre of music for all groups of people, including followers of movements such as theRastafari movement .Flower Power also celebrated symbolic action such as giving flowers to policemen and putting flowers into the barrels of
ROTC rifles. A Pulitzer-nominated photograph (with the same title) by Washington Star photographerBernie Boston has been a classic image of the Vietnam War era protests. The photo, taken at the October 21, 1967, "March on the Pentagon", showed a young, long-haired man in a turtleneck sweater, placing carnations into the rifle barrels of military policemen. The young man turned out to be George Edgerly Harris III, an 18 year old actor from New York. Harris later took on the stage name of "Hibiscus".
