Be part of an important research study on rock and roll music and the Civil Rights Movement.

Are you between 63 and 85 years of age?

Did you listen to rock and roll music as a teenager or young adult?

If you answered ​YES​ to these questions, you may be eligible to participate in an exciting research study on rock and roll music and racial attitudes during the 1950s and ‘60s.

The purpose of this research study is to determine whether rock and roll music affected perspectives on racial politics among teenagers and young adults during the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, and if those perspectiveshave changed through the years. If you are eligible, you will be asked tomeet with the researcher for a one- to two-hour-long email or audio-tapedinterview. There is no cost to you in order to participate.

Adults between 63 and 85 years of age who grew up in the United States,and who identify as black [[African-American) are eligible.

This study is being conducted by Beth Fowler, a Senior Lecturer in the IrvinD. Reid Honors College at Wayne State University.

There is no cost to you in order to participate.

Now that's a REAL incentive. Let's see there was the Stones "Paint it Black" and Lou Reed's verse of "and all the black girls sing" so there's your research.

Next we will be researching blues and jazz by people who identify as white?
