There are many connections between How Rock and Roll became whiteand Trailblazer Sister Rosetta Tharpe Inducted in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Class of 2018.  One of the connections that I drew from the two is how Sister Rosetta Tharpe never got her credit that she truly deserved while in the other reading, rock and roll became white because they stole songs from black people and used and sung them as their own.  These two are relatable in my eyes because it is an example of how Rosseta Tharpe never got her credit for being a pioneer of Rock and Roll, “She was an early pioneer of electric guitar, and developed a dazzling showmanship that involved intricate finger picking and teasing, daredevil sleights of hand.”  She has not got her credit until 2018 and is finally being inducted into the hall of fame decades later.  White artists have ripped off black music as the article How Rock and Roll became whitestates. This is striking to me because most people would never know that and it amazes me that these white artists have gotten away with it.  How can people rip off certain artists and get away with it especially without any credit to those given artists. The fact that people can get away with it has to do with race in my opinion.  The reason that these artist never got their credit is because they were black and the reasons the artist who did the credit were because they were white.
