Mackey Hargett's story, The Roots of Elvis Presley is a series of presentations given by Mackey to the tourists at Elvis' Birthplace in Tupelo. You can contact the Birthplace to learn more about Mackey's presentations. The Kin of Rock and Roll is happy to display the following photos taken by Peggy Hargett from August 2023-2024 at the birthplace convention center where Mackey has been invited by Executive Director, Roy Turner, to lecture on his fantastic book.
