Nothing changed in the 60's until the threat of violence appeared, no matter what you read about how peace and love and good vibes changed the world. It didn't. Once the riots started, and black militants and commies started arming up, the mainstream bent a bit to the organized left and then eventually co-opted it.
the whole "Peace and love" they kept around to sell toothpaste and potato chips. You can sell those things to middle america with rose colored, misty Woodstock retrospectives, not with Black Panther documentaries and copies of Mao's Little Red book.
