At 78, Presley is a legend of the past living in the present and now hopeful for the future. A grandson of slaves, he's one of the few men left in America so closely tied to his slave past, still farming cotton on the same land as his ancestors. He's picked cotton since he was just 6 years old.

Wow, I think Obama should abolish slavery and set this old man free.

Yeah, they make it sound as though he is STILL picking cotton and some damnfool yankee will be ignorant enough to believe it.

It was the Republicans that set the black slaves free.....but I bet any of you they’re not doing a !$%^*&@ thing for us white slaves. Anyone care to take the bet?
