The year 1967 was electric. The Summer of Love swept through San Francisco, Motown ruled the airwaves, and protests shook the country. The Vietnam War was on everyone’s minds, but so was the promise of change — civil rights, psychedelic art, and a new generation refusing to sit still. These 1967 photos show the year from every angle.
