The "Human Be-in" Name
The huge open-air hippy gathering took place in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, January 14th 1967.
Ex-Harvard professor Richard Alpert, who later became Baba Ram Dass, met up with Allen Cohen and others at the rally.
Alpert was asked what he thought of the day.
"Well," said Alpert, "it's a hell of a gathering. It's just being. Humans being. Being together."
"Yeah," -- "It's a Human Be-In."
Then it was decided to organize something called the Human Be-In.
The idea was to bring tens of thousands of people together, which is why it was also called ‘A Gathering of the Tribes'.
The huge open-air hippy gathering took place in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, January 14th 1967. More than 20,000 people turned up.
