Flower Power buses were far out
Anti-war sentiments only became stronger during the ’60s and ’70s, thanks to the counterculture movement. One of its most enduring symbols is the Flower Power buses of the time. Originating in Berkeley, California, the term “Flower Power” was meant to be a form of protest against the Vietnam War. Poet Allen Ginsberg is credited as the man who coined the expression. These buses were painted all over with different signs and quotes. They were instrumental in helping protesters promote passive resistance and nonviolence.
