Title: Elviis Presley, Melungeon Post by: donald on April 10, 2009, 05:08:35 PM Anybody familiar with this lore of an Appalachian race of people who have for many years hidden in the hills, guarding the secret of their heritage?
I just saw a film at the Appalachian Film Festival about the Melungeons. A web search revealed that Elvis is believed by some to be of Melungeon heritage. A compelling story.

Say it to yourself in the mirror a couple of times and you will know.
