Yesterday’s 50th Anniversary of the Human Be-In, the event that launched the Summer of Love in 1967, captured the attenton of media outlets around the globe, much as the original event did 50 years earlier! Below is an example of some of this coverage:

The San Francisco Chronicle used the 50th Anniversary of the Human Be-In to launch its coverage of the 50th Anniversary of the Summer of Love.
