Scholarly article (Revised)
Rock 'N' Roll artists created diversed music for all listeners during the 1960’s. DJ players would play variety of artists, both white and few black. In the scholarly journal, "Miller apologizes to Black community for Rock 'n' Roll Promotion", the anonymous author claims that Miller Brewing apologized for excluding African American artist from the 50th anniversary of Rock 'n' Roll. From the information obtained by the author, Miller says that the anniversary will feature Black artists such as Bo Didley, James brown and Lennny Kravitz. The author mentioned Dr. William McKeen declaring that African Americans were not excluded from the 50th year anniversary. At the event there were beer cans that had famous Rock 'n' Roll artist from different ethnic backgrounds. Brewing gives another qoute from McKeen that claims African Americans were shown on the cans of beverages at the event of the anniversary, along with other famous Rock 'n' Roll white artist. Dr. McKeen also asserts that the music of Rock 'N' Roll symbolizes the interactions between white and black. Rock 'n' Roll blended two different cultures, that of African American rhythm with white county music. Thanks to Rock ‘n’ Roll, African Americans are known for their change and dedication in the music industry. Most African American artists had to face many obstacles to reach the top of music charts in comparison to white artists.
