The Flower Power Photograph (October 1967)
The most lasting image from the last big march on the Pentagon, on October 21, 1967, survives in the collective memory as summing up an era. Carnations in gun barrels were the essence of Flower Power. “I knew I had a good picture,” says photographer Bernie Boston, 73, who took the photo for the Washington Star. His editors, not imagining the significance, buried it deep inside the A section.

Re: The Flower Power Photograph (October 1967)
The guy putting the flowers in the gun is George Edgerly Harris III, Jr (AKA Hibiscus). He was an interesting character in his later years... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibiscus_(entertainer) |
