  • KEEP on PUSHING the Fight for Civil Rights and Black Empowerment in the Context of Rock ‘N’ Roll in Philadelphia
    KEEP ON PUSHING The Fight for Civil Rights and Black Empowerment in the Context of Rock ‘n’ Roll in Philadelphia Lee Junkin Senior History Essay Spring 2016 African Americans in the southern United States, experiencing increased racial oppression through segregation and lynching, as well as seeking better economic opportunities, began moving north at an exponential rate starting after the Great Depression. Philadelphia was one of the northern cities that took in many of the migrants. The growth of the black population in Philadelphia increased the strain of racial tensions in the city. As historian Matthew Delmont points out in his book The Nicest Kids In Town, “from 1930-1960, the city’s black population grew by three hundred thousand, increasing from 11.4 percent of the city’s total population to 26.4 percent.”1 The growing racial diversity and developing culture of the city, along with the progression of the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1950’s and 60’s, established Philadelphia as a battleground for racial relations and social change. The movement of African Americans into northern cities began to change many aspects of American life, including popular music. This migration into urban areas, as well as increased access to electric instruments, caused a shift in black rhythm and blues musicians’ approaches to music. Music was played faster and with more energy. White musicians picked up on these musical changes and took black rock and crossed it with certain aspects of popular white music such as country-style lyrics and a cleaner sound. Music historians began to call this “rockabilly music”, a cross between rock ‘n’ roll and “hillbilly” country sounds.
