One can make a comparison with the 1950s as a "dark ages", although the opposition one will face will be overwhelming. It is easy to point out the "restrictive and stifling" societies in the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., but for the typical North American the 1950s was a period of economic growth and relative peace (the Korean War aside). This was the decade that spawned the children of the 1960s - a decade which "blew those bigots away" and much more.

I fail to see Elvis as the only person responsible for "blowing those bigots away", since there were already many musicians of both races performing the same music. The 'Beats' or 'Beatniks' such as Jack Kerouac, Alan Watts, Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, Lenny Bruce, and many others were just as active, but their work was largely written as opposed to the 45rpm records of rock 'n' roll lovesongs like "Teddybear" by Elvis Aaron Presley.
