Summary
The Pacific Coast Counterculture Collection documents political dissent and grassroots action in the United States during the counterculture movement of the 1960s and the anti-war and intersectional social change movements of the later 20th century in the San Francisco Bay Area and nationally. This unique array of primary source material, produced by the individuals and small groups involved, shows how prevailing attitudes about the environment, the government, society and many of society's institutions shifted dramatically during the second half of the 20th century. Innovative ideas about education led to alternative schools, fresh views of sexuality opened up new choices, and direct actions on behalf of peace, justice and the environment became recognized parts of American culture.
