It's been a surreal week with the tragedy in Parkersburg to being very busy at work to the news of the King of Pop passing at age 50.
I attended a Civil Rights Conference on Fair Housing all day on Thursday, June 25, 2009 in Cedar Rapids. After the conference, I heard shortly after the conference had ended that Michael Jackson had died.
Michael Jackson was a music icon and a superstar during my high school and college years. His impact in the development and success of MTV was huge. From the Jackson 5 to Thriller, some wonderful memories. I remember listening to his music from the Off the Wall album during my first paid job doing color darkroom work.
Michael Jackson clearly had a positive impact on acceptance from fans and members of various cultures. His music crossed racial and cultural lines. I always remember him as a young talent from Gary, Indiana.
peace
