Chuck Berry

Rock n Roll was originally Black music.

[king-emare]

thank you

[mentalhealthfemme]

Yes, him and little Richard never get their due smh

[missarrozcongandules1991]

except…chuck berry didn’t invent rock n roll…

Sister Rosetta Tharpe predates both chuck berry and little richard by quite a few years

Two of Tharpe’s hit songs were released in like 1944-45 when Chuck Berry was a) incarcerated and b) still a high school student, Tharpe basically discovered Little Richard, and she’s referred to as the godmother of rock n roll

lol just

throwin that out there

[christel-thoughts]

^^^EXACTLY

but Sister Rosetta was a woman and queer… so Black men will totally overlook her.

[veryfemmeandantifascist]

rock music was created by a black bisexual woman

script from @bluecollarbabe1 on instagram. even if you can't protest, you can still be heard. use your voice. do something.

TEXT:

To whom it may concern:

I am writing you about the murder of George Floyd by MPD officers Derek Chauvin, Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng, and Tou Thao. These men were not upholding the law, they were committing murder and terrorizing their community. Being fired is not an appropriate response to the crime. All officers must be charged with murder.

We cannot continue this way. This is not the way forward. Use your station and power for change; for good. Give a voice to the smothered. Prove that all lives matter. Do your job.

[email protected]

When the streets clear and the ashes fade, George Floyd will not be forgotten. The events transpiring may very well be plastered into history books. The world is watching. My generation will not fail to tell our children exactly what happened. Your actions now will cement how you are remembered. If you stand up and act, you will be remembered for your bravery, choosing to enact justice. If not, history will sneer at your cowardice. The choice is yours.
