What was your life like in the 60's?

I previously asked for a volunteer for my hippie project because I needed someone to interview. And have yet to find someone. So, I am posting my questions online. If you can help that’d be great. Thx!
What was your opinion on the hippies when you first learned about them?
Did you ever attend any of their demonstrations?
What was the biggest event during the 60’s that you remember involving them?
Are any of the stereotypes on Hippies correct?
If not, what were they really like?
How did it all start between the anti-war sentiment and peace movement?
What specific political or social issues were you really passionate about?
What was your reaction to the Port Huron Statement?
Now that you are older and look back, what do you think was the reason for the hippie movement at that time in history?
How was yours and your family’s lifestyle supported during this era?
Are there any good stories you’d like to add?
