**This class will be taught In-Person on the Main SFSU campus NOT at Spear Street.**
Although the Summer of Love (1967) usually figures large in accounts of San Francisco in the 1960s, there was much more going on during that decade. This mini course will begin with some developments in the 1950s, including the Beat Generation and protests over freeways, then look at events in the 1960s, beginning with the "City Hall swim" of 1960, when police used a fire hose to wash protesting students down the City Hall steps, protests over redevelopment, civil-rights demonstrations, the anti-war protests of the mid- and late 1960s, the Haight Ashbury scene of the mid - and late 1960s (including a few videos), the disaster at Altamont in 1969, the San Francisco State strikes, and the occupation of Alcatraz.
