Excellent

Thanks for putting this on.People need to know the truth about Elvis-that he was color-blind, you didnt have to be of any racial persuasion for him to love you.

Excellent overview

Considering the popular stereotype of Elvis as a racist, it's nice to hear someone with actual facts at his disposal that can shatter that distasteful myth.
