Breaking Down Racial Barriers
Even when he was just starting out, Elvis made a name for himself by breaking down racial barriers. The singer often performed for the black community without any hesitation whatsoever. This was why the white conservative community, who supported segregation, did not support his music career! His accepting nature came about as a result of his admiration for many black artists when he was a young boy. He used to perform regularly during “colored nights”.

Priscilla Helped Protect His Legacy
After the death of her ex-husband, Priscilla worked hard to uphold his legacy and memory. After dealing with tax problems and other financial issues, she decided to hire a CEO to convert Graceland into a museum. This proved to be a great move, as we all know. She then took over as the president and chairwoman of Elvis Presley Enterprises until the day their daughter turned 21 years old. Thanks to her guidance and work, the Elvis trust increased its worth to more than $100 million.
