Rock music usually uses Syncopation and Call and Response. The drumsusually the only instrument that uses Syncopation and all of the instruments use Call and Response. Most people can just recognize rock music when they hear it. Most Rock artists have guitar drums and a good rhythm to their songs. ====

==== **  [|Bus Boycotting and The Uganda "Walk to Work"] ** ==== ====1Led by Rosa Parks. The MontgomeryBus Boycott was an act ofrebellion against the government and the public transportation. The African-American community didn’t want to have to give up there seats at the front of the bus for Caucasian people. Then they decided to go on a boycott and walk to work since they were paying bus fair were not allowed to sit where they wanted to on the bus. In Uganda there is a massive riot over food and oil that caused an event called "The Walk to Work", which resembled the Bus Boycott of 1955 because the cost of transportation and food was not fairly distributed among all Ugandans. ====

==== Freedom Riders want Equal Rights ... kinda like ** Gay Rights ** huh? ==== ====The Freedom Riders like the rest of the African-American community wanted equality in restaurants and waiting rooms in terminals. Gay Rights were considered unconstitutional and therefore Gay people weren't a loud to get married and were sometimes bannned from places because of who they were with. The Freedom Riders wanted black people to be treated likem white people and Gay peoplem want to be treated like every one else.====

====**BLACK POWER!!!**and the **Social Classes**==== ====Stokely Carmichael believes that all black people should be treated the same as white people. The working class wants the same say in the government as upper and middle class. Carmicheal thought that the average Black person wasn't being treated equally to the average white person. So he wrote a speech on what he thought America should be like. The working class doesn't think that it had as much authority in the government and often protested against the way they were treated.====
