Brad Duncan on the shared roots of Civil Rights Movement and Rock & Roll
Joe Clement and Brad Duncan discuss the shared roots of Rock n Roll and the Civil Rights movement in the deep South and in the mid-to-late 1950s. Segregationists feared the cultural race mixing they saw when Rhythm & Blues broke out of the black community and was rebranded as Rock n Roll for a mixed audience of young people in the post-war era.
