How Does Dorissey Impact On Society

A brilliant woman once said, “I believe if the white and colored people could get together and be left alone, they would understand each other and consequently love each other” (Josephine Baker). Originally born Freda Josephine McDonald, Baker lived an oppressed early life as an African American girl with little to hardly any money. At the time, African Americans faced hardships due to the white supremacists that believed dark-colored people would not be of equal value to caucasians. Baker decided that she could overcome her persecution by moving to France and making herself into an idol. She was an independent and courageous woman who opened the doors for equality to many. Josephine Baker greatly impacted America due to her influence on women; therefore, leading to more women involved in education and working, her civil rights speeches that opened opportunities for equal races, as well as advocating for equality among men and women.

There were many problems in society that no one knew of until Eleanor Roosevelt brought them to light. “It’s easy to stand with the crowd. It takes courage to stand alone.” Mahatma Gandhi said.

There are a revolutionary of unique voices before the music formation in the contemporary art music. The feeling of the new art music has its foundation on a progression of works and spirituals of the past musical legendries including Billie Holiday.

Henrietta Lacks was an African American woman who died of cervical cancer in 1951, when ethics were not so important to doctors as much as the breaking medical discovery. Henrietta's cells were taken from her without consent from her or her family, also known as HeLa cells. Lack's cells have made an extensive impact on the world today. Now, the knowledge we have about her cells being took from her, makes the world question the ethics that were set in stone in this time and place. Henrietta Lacks has made a permanent impression to all who know about her story.

Although there have been several influential people in the world, the person that stood out to me most is Susan B. Anthony. Born in 1820, she was raised in a politically active family and was inspired to fight for women's rights while taking part in the Temperance Movement. Her work helped shape the 19th amendment which gave women the right to vote. Susan b. Anthony’s strong belief in women's rights and how she takes initiative into turning her beliefs into a reality is extremely courageous and should be recognised by more people.

As Henrietta grew older she became the mother of five children just ten years later after she was married. Things only became worse from there. She became ill, and she had to seek medical treatment at Johns Hopkins Hospital, because it was the only hospital within reasonable distance from her home

I adore his music and his showmanship at concerts. I have had the privilege of attending two of his concerts, 1978 and 2012. I had vaguely heard that Stewart began his career in the 1960s. He is near my parents’ age. That fact boggles my mind. I did not realize Stewart began his career in Rhythm and Blues bands. Reading the fact that his’ first release of “Maggie May” of 1971 boosted him off on his solo career makes my heart smile. I love that song. As a teenager, I never really listened to the story of his songs. After actually listening to the lyrics of his songs, I’m surprised my parents allowed me to listen to his songs and attend his concert with high school friends in 1978. As of his 2012 concert, he still hops around stage while singing and kicks soccer balls into the fans. I wish I knew his secret for being so energized. I did not know he wrote some of his own songs before this

Diane Nash is the person who changed the way African Americans were treated in Nashville, Tennessee. She was just a student when she discovered that stopping segregation was what she wanted to dedicate the rest of her life to. She started off by going to nonviolent protest and Nashville's sit-ins at the lunch counters. Diane Nash was then given the position of chair of the Student Central Committee, due to her being actively involved in the civil rights movement. As chair of the SCC, Diane coordinated her own protest and Nashville sit-ins that included many students from her college.

In the years of new wave music and the British Invasion, one UK band was changing the way we thought about pop icons and indie music through their lyrically advanced songs, original sound, controversial surrounding, and influential style. The Smiths, and Morrissey in particular, are legendary figures in the indie and alternative rock world. The band originated from Manchester and created music from 1982 to 1987. Morrissey’s short-lived career in The Smiths, established them to be one of the most popular and influential “anti-pop” figures in a primarily pop genre. The Smiths may not be part of the pop music canon due to the lead singer and guitarist constantly creating negative controversy often in a political nature, their unique sound and
