THREAD: June 25, 2020, marks eleven whole years without the King of Pop. While most people reading this was fortunate enough to have lived in the same time and space as Michael Jackson, there’s already a generation of people who haven’t. #MichaelJacksonForever
Michael Jackson’s REAL legacy is that of a humanitarian who really wanted to bring positive change to the world and all of her inhabitants. This was evident through his body of work and charitable world records. #MichaelJacksonForever
It is also important to understand his unparalleled impact on the music industry. In the timeline of popular music, there are only two periods. B.M.J. (Before Michael Jackson) and A.M.J. (After Michael Jackson). #MichaelJacksonForever
A systemically racist media and music industry has spent my lifetime attempting to rewrite his legacy. This mustn’t be allowed and we must continue to protect his legacy. #MichaelJacksonForever
Despite an untrue media narrative, Jackson was a very proud Black American. As a young black man myself, Jackson was who I looked up to as proof that the sky is the limit for our people! #MichaelJacksonForever
I can’t imagine a world where little children or teenagers aren’t discovering the magic that is Michael Jackson for the first time. Until the media decides to be good boys and girls, it is up to us to keep his legacy alive. #MichaelJacksonForever
