Elvis and MLK Jr.
On MLK’s birthday here in Australia, I’m interviewing the people of Parkes about Elvis, and I’m fascinated by how many folks cite some Elvis relationship with MLK as evidence of how much Elvis did “for the races.” This narrative is a bit contrary to what I know. Must research… Thinking that I need to comb through Taylor Branch and Peter Guralnick, and especially Michael Bertrand. Meanwhile, does anyone have any insights?
