16,400 fans showed up in Greensboro, NC on March 13th 1974 for another sold out stop on the tour. Elvis noted to the crowd that night that they were one of the wildest and most appreciative audiences yet. At one point Elvis asked that the house lights be turned down so that he could see his fans ... and spotted sitting on a chair was a child dressed in a white sequined jumpsuit complete with cape.  In order to get a closer look at the boy, Elvis had the father and son brought up on to the stage. And as Elvis bent over to see the boy's costume he put a hand on the little boy's head and said, "Get him out of here! He's dressed better than I am." provoking a roar of approval from the crowd as Elvis presented the mini-Elvis with a blue scarf.

“Hundreds of copies lined the shelves of the bookroom, hidden, mute. Nothing is more silent than an unread book.”

Raleigh, NC Full-text of speech from event #1 to be released shortly. The event on NCSU's campus was well received and numerous student clubs were present for the kick-off of the event.

Greensboro, NC Here are 2 questions that garnered a very positive response from the audience: Q: "In today's environment of racial and identity politics, do you feel that you were forced to pick a white man as your running mate?" A: "No, unequivocally. My decision to choose Coach Walz as my running mate was not influenced by racial or identity politics. It was about finding someone who shares my vision, my values, who has a proven track record of bringing people together to get things done, and can be a little fun while doing it. Tim is an experienced leader, a former educator, and a person who has dedicated his life to public service. I considered many exceptional individuals for this role, including leaders like Governor Whitmer, clearly if I considered a second woman identity politics weren't at play. What mattered most in my decision was finding the right person to help lead this country, someone who understands the challenges we face and who can help unify our nation during these divided times.Moving forward, I hope we can reach a point where questions like this are no longer necessary because our focus should be on qualifications, character, and the ability to lead, not just the identity of the individuals. Tim is the right choice!" Q: "Is HBCU funding for schools like NC A&T a priority for your administration, given your personal background?" A: "Well, let me just say, I think it’s pretty clear where my priorities lie, considering I attended an HBCU myself! I'm thankful for my Howard experience every day. And let’s not forget, my running mate, Governor Walz, is a former educator. So yes, HBCU funding is not just a priority—it’s a personal commitment. HBCUs have played a crucial role in shaping leaders, innovators, and changemakers in our country for generations. They provide not just education but also a sense of community, pride, and identity. Our administration is committed to ensuring that HBCUs have the resources they need to continue their legacy of excellence."

Charlotte, NC Below are one quote from Governor Cooper, one from Governor Walz, and two from Vice President Harris that are from the remarks made at today's rally. "North Carolina is not just a battleground state; it’s the proving ground for our democracy. We’ve been underestimated before, but we know that when we stand together, nothing can stop us. We’re going to fight for every vote, every voice, because the future of our country depends on it. Now let me welcome to the stage the next Vice President of the United States of America, Tim Walz!" - Governor Roy Cooper "We are the underdogs in this race, but we’ve got something far more powerful than any poll or pundit’s prediction: the will of the people. We’re not going back to the days of division and chaos. Together, we’re building a future that unites us, and we’re not backing down from the fight because every American deserves a better tomorrow." - Governor Tim Walz

"Donald Trump is a threat to everything we hold dear—our values, our democracy, our future. But let me tell you this: we are stronger than fear, stronger than hate, and we’re going to prove that in every corner of North Carolina and across this great nation." - Vice President Kamala Harris "We’re not here to make America go back to some imagined ‘great’ past. We’re here to build a future that’s better for everyone. We’re not MAGA, we’re moving forward, and we’re not going to stop until every North Carolinian has a voice in that future. We’re not going back!"- Vice President Kamala Harris

There Had Been Rumors All Day About Elvis... By Jerry Kenion Greensboro Daily News March 14, 1974

Then the sleek white plane touched down and taxied toward the front of Atlantic Aero. There was a rush for the doors as two dozen women braved the jet blast to move a bit closer to the plane. The black limousine was parked just steps from where the singing star would hit the bottom step of the plane's stairs. Several people left the plane and climbed into the limousine. Then, there he was. The King. He walked slowly down the stairs, the wind blowing his black caped coat, and flared black trousers. Elvis paused to greet someone in his exclusive circle, glanced up through tinted sunglasses at the few fans waving and taking pictures, and disappeared into the limousine.

I met this sweet little out on Nealtown Rd in Greensboro this afternoon. I put him back on the grass. I didn't want him/her getting hit by a car. Last week I had to shoo a toad back off the road.

I and my friends roommate explored an abandoned building Friday night, located in Greensboro NC. Was kinda spooky. would do again though. pictures were taken by my friends roommate. There was an upstairs however we decided not to go because it looked like the floors above were caving in on different spots. Btw it was taken with a flash type camera on the roommates mobile phone.

I fucking hate this state so much. Y'all in North Carolina better fucking vote. I know democrats sucks. I know this country is broken but you can vote and then do direct action like mutual aid. If you care about trans rights or queer rights in general or immigration rights or abortion or anything like that, you better fucking vote. I see so much shit on this site about people arguing about voting. Voting doesn't solve everything and I know Biden fucking sucks but at least vote for other stuff. People's lives are counting on you voting.
