Happening House

While teaching at San Francisco State University in 1967, Leonard started Happening House, one of many organizations that originated with the Flower children of the Haight Ashbury district. It was conceived as an alternate university, an arts center and a place of learning. It often planned and sponsored social events such as softball games and free concerts. In collaboration with the Haight Ashbury Switchboard it had intermittent connections with the Haight Ashbury Free Clinic.
