When Elvis was asked to play in the Houston Astro Dome, he was asked to leave his black girls at home. But his brilliant reply leaves me in tears – check comments to read it 👇🏻💔

In 1970, Elvis Presley was set to perform at the Houston Astrodome, but officials requested he leave behind his African-American backing group, The Sweet Inspirations, due to racial biases. Elvis’s response was clear: “If they don’t come, I don’t come.”

True to his word, Elvis brought the group on stage, making a bold stand against prejudice. The performance became a testament to his integrity and belief in equality.

The Sweet Inspirations worked with Elvis from 1969 to 1977, creating unforgettable music and sharing a strong bond with him. Myrna Smith, a member of the group, cherished their time with Elvis, describing him as family.

Elvis’s legacy as a musical legend and advocate for racial harmony continues to inspire.
