The Human Be-In - January 21, 1967






"Well, it's a hell of a gathering. It's just being. Human being. Humans being. Being together. Yeah - it's a Human Be-In."
- Richard Alpert


"A union of love and activism previously separated by categorical dogma and label mongering will finally occur ecstatically when Berkeley political activists and hip community and San Francisco's spiritual generation and contingents from the emerging revolutionary generation all over California meet for a Gathering of the Tribes for a Human Be-In. ...

Music will be played by all the Bay Area rock bands, including the Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Co., Quicksilver Messenger Service, and many others. Everyone is invited to bring costumes, blankets, bells, flags, symbols, cymbals, drums, beads, feathers, flowers...

The Human Be-In is the joyful, face-to-face beginning of the new epoch."

-- The San Francisco Oracle, Vol. 1, Issue 5, p. 2
