For decades, critics have repeated the rumor that Elvis Presley was racist. But the evidence tells a very different story.

Elvis grew up immersed in Black culture — sneaking into gospel churches, spending time on Beale Street, and proudly crediting artists who shaped his sound. He supported Jackie Wilson after his stroke, stood by B.B. King and James Brown as friends, and insisted on The Sweet Inspirations as his backing singers despite resistance.

Far from shutting doors, Elvis helped open them, bringing Black-inspired music to mainstream audiences around the world.

???? What do you think — was Elvis stealing Black music, or was he helping it reach the world? Comment below!
