Elvis's immediate family was certainly very poor, and my understanding was always that he came from a family that had been sharecropping for quite some time, possibly since before the Civil War. I doubt they ever owned many if any slaves.
Thats what I thought. Elvis, while an icon of 'white' culture, has always dispalyed his Native American side.
