Episode Synopsis

It's December first, and on this day in 1957… Elvis Presley donated \$1,050 to ensure that every student at his alma mater, Humes High School, could attend the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. His gift covered the cost of tickets for all 1,400 students, reflecting both his deep connection to his Memphis roots and his generosity toward causes benefiting the blind—a recurring theme in his charitable giving throughout his career.
