Exhibits:
The Museum is the culmination of a Tucson effort started in the Summer Of 1967 by a
group of pre-teen and teen school boys from a
local
neighborhood still
blessed with its dirt streets as they experienced
growing up
in the often
anything goes atmosphere of Free Sex in the 1960's and early
1970's (see
article ) within
their own peer group while at the same time being
surrounded by the often very
ultra conservative world of most of their parents ,
relatives ,
teachers , other adults ,
along with
the events they encountered
or were
hearing about every day (see
video ) (see video ).
