When most people think of rock & roll, they name Elvis, Chuck Berry, or Little Richard. But the truth is far deeper — rock & roll was born from the voice, the guitar, and the spirit of a Black woman.

This is the story of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the gospel singer and electric guitar pioneer whose sound inspired legends like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Little Richard. Yet, history almost erased her name.

At Storia Nera, we bring back the forgotten and erased stories of Black history. And today, we remember the woman who created the sound that changed the world.

Because memory is not just history — memory is justice.
