Right Now Happening in the Haight Ashbury

About This Item

KRON-TV news footage from December 17th 1966 featuring brief scenes from a happening in the Haight Ashbury. The reporter asks a spokesman what the signs "Now" mean and he replies with gusto: "The signs now mean right now! And right now is what's happening and going on right around here. Two thousand very beautiful people all together, having a very peaceful good time. We're enjoying ... this moment, now!" Also includes views of people congregating on the street and enjoying themselves. Opening graphic designed by Carrie Hawks. This 16mm reversal film print was re-transferred in 4K (4096 x 2970) using a Lasergraphics ScanStation film scanner, in April 2023.

Thanks to Eric Noble who runs the Diggers Archive, who advised this event was called the "Death of Money" parade, which was organized by the Diggers.
