1960s

For many people, the 1960s in San Francisco mean one thing: the Summer of Love in 1968. At the start of the decade, though, citizens were protesting the House Subcommittee on Un-American Activities hearings and attending peace rallies in Golden Gate Park, while the Free Speech Movement blossomed in Berkeley. Native Americans seized Alcatraz and Vietnam War protesters marched up Market Street. Hippies began transforming the Haight-Ashbury district at the end of the decade.
