Remembering Abbie...

























Abbie Hoffman
Nov. 30 1936 - Apr. 12 1989

Abbie was a co-founder of the Yippies, a relentless revolutionary activist, a visionary and media manipulator and author of thought-provoking books like "Revolution for the Hell of It" (1968), "Woodstock Nation" (1969), "Steal This Book£ (1971) and "To America with Love: Letters from the Underground" (1976).
Read here to learn about (or remember) this iconic figure of the revolutionary sixties....

"Sure, we were young. We were arrogant...and we were foolish. But we were right."
