The History of Hippies - San Francisco, California - the Haight-Ashbu
The History of Hippies - San Francisco, California - The Haight-Ashbu... http://www.lovehaight.org/history/counterculture.html The Making of the Counterculture In the winter of 1954-55 America was in an economic, social, and cultural interregnum. One style of life, one mood — like Victorianism or Edwardianism — was giving way to another. The industrial age based on the mechanical exploitation of coal and iron was giving way to electronics, computers, automation — with all the social and intellectual results such a basic revolution implies — but as yet few indeed understood what was happening. The country was in a minor economic depression following the end of the Korean War. The Korean War represented a qualitative leap forward in technology and a lag in all other factors. However, morale broke down for a more simple reason. You can fight only one such war every twenty-five years. The Korean War took place within the effective memory of the Second World War. The academic and intellectual establishment, Left, Right, and Center, was shattered, demoralized, and discredited by the years of McCarthyism. Young men by the thousands were returning from the Korean War to the colleges disillusioned and contemptuous of their elders. They said to each other, “Keep your nose clean and don’t volunteer.” “Don’t believe anybody over thirty.” Communication between groups broke down. Only those of the older generation who had remained defiant were respected, listened to, questioned. Just as the Army took years to discover the almost total breakdown of morale in Korea, so the older intellectuals were unaware that a volcano was building up under them. -
2019 Boston Latin Invitational Scholastic Series (BLISS) I Round 8
2019 Boston Latin Invitational Scholastic Series (BLISS) I Round 8 Head Edited by Christy Jestin and Nicholas Weiske; Literature Edited by Kelin Carpenter; Written by Lucas Aho, Samuel Cheever, Kyler Hoogendorn Ecker, Aidan Goldberg, Jerry Han, Christy Jestin, David Liu, Kevin S. Qi, Sebastian Suarez, Joseph Terrey, Austin Wang, Nicholas Weiske, Alice Wu, Lily Yang, and Alex Young Tossups 1. The San Remo Cafe was frequented by members of this movement. One author from this movement wrote a poem about his mother Naomi and her death on June 9. That author from this movement met his lover, Peter Orlovsky, soon before writing his most famous poem, a (*) “lament for the Lamb” in which he ceaselessly describes “Moloch”. This movement was centered on Greenwich Village, and it was characterized by alienation from “square” society. For 10 points, name this American literary movement exemplified by authors such as Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. Answer: the Beat Generation or the Beatniks 2. Sprigs of hemlock were used to identify this event’s participants, many of whom marched on the Middlesex County Courthouse. Governor Hancock provided the militias under William Shephard and James Bowdoin that put down this revolt. The results of this event prompted the saying “A little rebellion (*) every now and then is a good thing”. Although John Bly and Charles Rose were executed, the government shut down debt collection courts and provided a $20 stipend to veterans. For 10 points, Job Shattuck led what Massachusetts rebellion which exposed the weakness of the Articles of Confederation? Answer: Shays’ Rebellion 3. Coenzyme Q10 is reduced twice to ubiquinol in this process. -
FROM BOB DYLAN to JACK KEROUAC, SEE RARE PHOTOS of the VILLAGE’S BEAT GENERATION by Andrew Berman, December 7, 2017
THE URBAN LENS: FROM BOB DYLAN TO JACK KEROUAC, SEE RARE PHOTOS OF THE VILLAGE’S BEAT GENERATION By Andrew Berman, December 7, 2017 Perhaps no single photographer could be said to have captured the energy, the cultural ferment, the reverberating social change emanating from New York City in the second half of the 20th century as vividly as Fred W. McDarrah. McDarrah got his start covering the downtown beat of the Village Voice in the 1950s and ’60s, as that publication was defining a newly-emerged breed of independent journalism. McDarrah penetrated the lofts and coffeehouses of Lower Manhattan to shed light upon a new movement known as “The Beats” and went on to capture on film the New York artists, activists, politicians, and poets who changed the way everyone else thought and lived. Through the generosity of the Estate of Fred W. McDarrah and the McDarrah family, the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation was fortunate enough to add to its digital archive a dozen of the most epochal of Fred McDarrah’s images of downtown icons, including Andy Warhol, Bob Dylan, Jane Jacobs, and Allen Ginsberg. And just in time for the holidays, you can purchase your own copy (with all proceeds benefitting GVSHP!). Allen Ginsberg and fellow Beat poet and life-partner Peter Orlovsky were photographed by McDarrah outside the Kettle of Fish bar at 114 MacDougal Street, not long after “Howl and other Poems” had been released and litigated in one of the most high-prolife and consequential obscenity trials of the 20th century. Ginsberg and fellow Beats like Jack Kerouac called the Kettle of Fish a second home of sorts, located along the MacDougal/Bleecker corridor, which was the center of both the folk renaissance and the literary revolution of the 1950s and ’60s. -

While a broad LGBTQ American history is presented in the Introduction section, these chapters document the regional, and often quite different, histories across the country. In addition to New York City and San Francisco, often considered the epicenters of LGBTQ experience, the queer histories of Chicago, Miami, and Reno are also presented. PRESERVATION26 OF LGBTQ HISTORIC & CULTURAL SITES—A NEW YORK CITY PERSPECTIVE Jay Shockley For over two decades, New York City has been in the forefront nationally in the historic preservation of LGBTQ historic and cultural sites. Beginning in the early 1990s, a number of historic preservationists, historians, and artists began documenting LGBTQ history and worked on projects to bring official commemoration and public awareness of significant LGBTQ sites.
