You see, it was justified because something something something:
Graceland is an expensive, for-profit institution that fleeces tourists while giving nothing back to the black communities it sits in the middle of. It is a symbol of everything this city gets wrong abt economic development and activists are smart to use it to promote their cause https://t.co/tEsNTa87kt

Helluva way to promote a cause:
I’m sorry but this is wrong, Elvis fans have been going to Graceland for years, writing messages to him or for him, Elvis was a massive reason why black and whites can mix, if you don’t know that you don’t know your history, this is just stupid. https://t.co/OWvUer9vqf

Awful:
The iconic entrance to Graceland in Memphis was vandalized with spray paint this morning, with phrases like "Black Lives Matter," "Defund the Police," "Abolish ICE," and "Save Our Children." https://t.co/KgzxwAsD8n pic.twitter.com/TZMVsYeWyd

Cleanup is underway:
Crews are cleaning up after someone spray painted the walls of Graceland with messages like “Defund MPD” “Arrest Breonna Taylor’s murderers” and “BLM” and more. I’ll give you a live look on @FOX13Memphis midday. pic.twitter.com/iggrafPLb8
