Summer of Love Story aired: Friday, June 29, 2007
With flowers in their hair, thousands of young people flocked to San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood for the 'Summer of Love.' Millions more felt the ripple effects in small towns across America, even without 24 hour cable. Music such as the Mamas and the Papas' "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" epitomized the sentiment of the time.
Glenn Smith was a 14-year-old in Texas that summer and he says there was more to the 'Summer of Love' than drugs and music. Glenn Smith is senior fellow at the Rockridge Institute. We hear his story.
