The National Archives at Atlanta hosted a special birthday celebration for Elvis! Guests viewed videos of the King, read original and scanned documents from the files of the National Archives, and enjoyed a slice of this humorous birthday cake.
If you missed the party of January 7, there’s lots of other events across the National Archives this February!
See the original photograph in ”The Roosevelts: Public Figures, Private Lives,” a new exhibit opening this spring at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum.
Franklin Roosevelt’s harsher critics sometimes compared him to a dictator. In 1934, the President and his staff turned this criticism into a lighthearted joke at FDR’s 52nd birthday party. Roosevelt is Caesar, and Eleanor Roosevelt is sitting behind the President dressed as the Oracle of Delphi. Find out who wore the toga in this blog post.
We’re having a birthday party for Elvis! Join us at the National Archives in Atlanta on Saturday, January 7, for a party with Elvis, cake, and maybe even a hound dog.
It’s free! The party is from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at our facility at 5780 Jonesboro Road, in Morrow, GA.
