built 627 days ago
Rock and roll appeared at a time when racial tensions in the United States were coming to the surface. African Americans were protesting segregation of schools and public facilities. The "separate but equal" doctrine was nominally overturned by the Supreme Court in 1954, and the difficult task of enforcing this new doctrine lay ahead. This new musical form combining elements of white and black music inevitably provoked strong reactions.

In 1859, the Pilgrim Society laid the cornerstone for a canopy over the base of the Rock on the wharf. The canopy, designed by Hammatt Billings, was finished in 1867. In 1880, the Pilgrim Society moved the top of the Rock from its location inside the fancy iron fence in front of Pilgrim Hall Museum and reunited it to the base of the Rock under the Canopy. It was at this time that the date "1620" was cut into the Rock.
