In a past lecture or small talk, we touched on aspects of the Hippie culture. I recently visited a friends grandparents at their beach house in La Jolla. Upon parking in the driveway, I noticed a torn and faded flag with “Peace” and the peace symbol embroidered on it. It instantly reminded me of the classic hippie culture of spreading love and peace. The flag, to me, served as a reminder of times past and the lasting impact of historical movements. Just as Blum says, “History is all around us.”
