The rock and roll music that dominated airwaves across the country
during the 1950s and early 1960s is often described as a triumph
for integration. Black and white musicians alike, including Chuck
Berry, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, and Jerry Lee Lewis, scored
hit records with young audiences from different racial groups,
blending sonic traditions from R&B, country, and pop. This
so-called "desegregation of the charts" seemed particularly
resonant since major civil rights groups were waging major battles
for desegregation in public places at the same time. And yet the
centering of integration, as well as the supposition that
democratic rights largely based in consumerism should be available
to everyone regardless of race, has resulted in very distinct
responses to both music and movement among Black and white
listeners who grew up during this period. This book traces these
distinctions using archival research, musical performances, and
original oral histories to determine the uncertain legacies of the
civil rights movement and early rock and roll music in a supposedly
post-civil rights era.
