The late 1940’s had a powerful influence on the development of rock music and the vast changes in the American society. One major change in society was the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. This movement not only impacted American society but as well the reason for the division of musical taste. The impact the 40s had on rock music included instrumental, vocal, and dance styles that were popular during that time era. There were various roots in styles of music that had not been recognized by the American society.

We know that lasting personal and social change comes about when we all work together. That’s why, at the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. The biggest barrier of entry that I can see with this event would be the fact that there are a few well known named events that deal with the cause for cancer, and to be able to promote to our audience that this one is beneficial as well. Possibly being able to tell the history of the YMCA we could attract the “COMMUNITY” as well as local diocese in the area.
The Buffalo Creek Flood killed many people in the February of 1972. After the flood, Pittston not only didn’t admit the responsibility, but also claimed it as a natural disaster, called it “an act of god,” and later on claimed and blamed that the Buffalo Mining Company was a separate division altogether and that Pittston couldn’t be responsible for its actions.

Of course, many of them made clear they had no desire for this support. - Despite one or two attempts, such as Stokeley Carmichael’s book
The host of the show, Ed Sullivan, was one of the first (if not the first) TV presenters to invite black musicians to their shows. That helped a lot to raise people's consciousness that it was the blacks who invented rock'n'roll. Ultimately, this fact is a milestone in terms of popular culture. Sullivan broke the boundaries dividing 'black' and 'white' music, making them appear on one screen. The impact of blacks on the music business has been enormous.
With the “black power” slogan appealing to blacks across the country and symbols for black power were showing themselves more each day (the raised fist above the head) the strength of the movement was growing. Even though whites were afraid of Carmichael, he felt as if people did not understand his views, so he helped write a book explaining them titled Black Power: The Politics of Liberation in America. As its chairman, Carmichael continued to help support and organize the group, helping it to grow nationwide, but as the Civil Rights Movement

Religious Organisations and Justice 1. Explain how, many religious organisations work for justice in the world today (8) One Christian organisation called tearfund works for justice by supporting 75,000 churches worldwide who ask local communities if they have any problems and if so, help the people solve them. The organisation also trains and equips people to end poverty and rebuild communities that have been destroyed by natural disasters, famine, disease, etc. This way of working has progressed into a huge team effort with 17 million people helping through community projects and preparation and recovery from disasters, most recently the hundreds of thousands of people, homeless in Iraq. Another organisation working for justice is the Ummah Welfare Trust.
