Don't Be Cruel: Photos of a Roma performer fighting discrimination, one Elvis song at a time

Tudor Lakatos is fighting discrimination against Romania's Roma minority through the music of Elvis Presley. Dressed in a rhinestone shirt and oversized sunglasses, Lakatos performs unique versions of Elvis' hits in a mix of Romani, Romanian and English. But don't call him an Elvis impersonator. Lakatos says he 'channels' Elvis as a way to connect with people from both communities and provide a role model for Roma children after centuries of discrimination and poverty. ___ This is a photo gallery curated by AP photo editors.
