Flower Power
"Flower Power" is a social movement that emerged in the 1960s, primarily associated with the counterculture and anti-war protests in the United States. It symbolized peace, love, and non-violence, often represented by the use of flowers, particularly during demonstrations against the Vietnam War. The movement encouraged people to reject violence and embrace harmony through peaceful means.
The term is closely linked to the Hippie movement, which advocated for civil rights, environmentalism, and social change. Prominent figures like Abbie Hoffman and Allen Ginsberg used the imagery of flowers to promote their messages, making "Flower Power" a lasting symbol of the era's quest for peace and social justice.
