Rock N Roll Changed life

It seems to me from the lecture today that the music of rock and roll actually brought blacks and whites together. Racism seems to still be fresh and present but lessened by this one common interest. In the movie last week Cadillac records this was shown when the teens were all at the show dancing and enjoying the music, whites on one side blacks on the other. Suddenly one white girl moves the rope and goes to the black side, in no time the teens were all mixed together dancing. This act shows how slowly the times were changing. White kids were buying black artists recorders. Talent was now what mattered not skin color. This mind set seems to be a refreshing one.
