Theatre and Communications Arts, University of Memphis. Jerry Hopkins, original Elvis biographer, will discuss perceptions of Elvis from then until now and beyond with locals who knew Elvis and audience members who choose to participate. Hopkins will soon publish an updated version of his 1971 Elvis biography. He was a part of the first University of Memphis seminar on Elvis in 1979 and his original tapes and research notes, archived in the University of Memphis Library, have been the foundation for many subsequent scholarly works on Elvis and his times. No tickets are required to the event. Donations will be accepted to benefit the Elvis Presley Endowed Scholarship Fund at the University of Memphis. This event is hosted and produced by Dr. John Bakke and funded by The University of Memphis Foundation and The Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation.
