movement. His father, James Waddell Jr., an esteemed civil rights era sculptor, created the first-ever sculpture of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968, following his service in the Vietnam War. Eight family members attended Dr. King's final speech, including one that sang in the SCLC choir that night. Lucious Matthews, Waddell's uncle, was prominently featured in several significant photographs from the civil rights movement, notably identified as the 'man in the brimmed hat' during the Memphis sanitation worker strike. These photographs depict a line of peaceful strikers confronted by National Guard soldiers with weapons on one side and a line of tanks on the other.<sup id="cite_ref-ncrm_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ncrm-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Waddell attended the University of Memphis, earning a degree in Accounting and Music.<sup id="cite_ref-mbq_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mbq-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Career">Career</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gebre_Waddell&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Career"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Entrepreneurship_and_Industry">Entrepreneurship and Industry</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gebre_Waddell&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Entrepreneurship and Industry"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In March 2024 the State of Tennessee enacted the Ensuring Likeness, Voice, and Image Security Act, also known as the <a href="/wiki/ELVIS_Act" title="ELVIS Act">ELVIS Act</a>, the first U.S. state bill <a href="/wiki/Regulation_of_artificial_intelligence" title="Regulation of artificial intelligence">regulating artificial intelligence</a> with a focus on <a href="/wiki/Personality_rights" title="Personality rights">publicity rights</a>.
