ELVIS PICTURES
Chattanooga, Tennessee, July 4, 1956.
The train from New York to Memphis, where Elvis was traveling back home -at 1034 Audubon Drive- makes a stop to rest and have breakfast.
Elvis is waiting for his eggs and sandwich at the Terminal Station Coffee Shop.
A stop for breakfast while changing trains.
A black woman, standing, also waits for her breakfast, a tuna sandwich, but the counter is racially segregated and she can't sit down.
Elvis frequented establishments regardless of the areas of racial segregation.
He always defended at the cost of everything that all people are equal. For him those barriers did not exist, in a difficult time of strong racial segregation.
As we can see, Wertheimer's photos not only immortalized the soul and essence of Elvis, they are also a reflection of the essence of American society and culture of the time.
