Elvis Presley was conceived in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8, 1935. Regardless of his later status as a fabulous performer, his family lived close neediness amid his adolescence. Elvis was raised as a just kid (his indistinguishable twin sibling was stillborn) and was near his mom. It was his mom that urged Presley to purchase his first guitar, instead of the rifle he truly needed to purchase. When he had his guitar, he was seldom seen without it. The Presley family went to the Assembly of God church, which was later to affect his music and the special sound he would get to be well known for. As Presley got wiser, he would play anyplace he could, step by step becoming well known in Memphis along the celebrated internationally Beale Street.…
Freda Josephine McDonald better known as Josephine Baker. Not only was a magnificent entertainer, French spy, and Woman and African American civil rights activist. Mrs. Baker may be overlooked as just “one of those old school singers and dancers”. Most people would not even think that she was “a woman who was buried with military honors” (Biography.com, 2016). And to top it off, her endless contribution to bring peace towards the racist attacks thrown at her and others. Through acts of civil disobedience which I believe positively reforms a society until violence is acted upon further leading to negative impact. All throughout her successful career, in which she remained standing to impact our society in a way that should never be forgotten. Sounds like a story worth hearing.…

However, her twerking was not the only thing she used to make her performance feel black. The song titled “We Can’t Stop” was given to and performed by Cyrus after she said she wanted something that “felt black”. Seeing as the song was originally written for Rihanna, a black music performer, one can say that Cyrus definitely got her wish. Furthermore, Cyrus allegedly said she feels like Lil’ Kim inside, another black music artist, and that she likes “hood” music (Freeman 2013). This only further illustrates the idea that Cyrus may not know what cultural appropriation is because it makes no sense for her as a white woman to say she is a black woman inside without purposefully disrespecting black culture. However, it could also be the case that Cyrus simply does not care about cultural appropriation, but instead cares about her own personal gain from attempting to act like a black woman.…
