Today in History: Michael Jackson Would Have Been 54

Today, August 29, 2012, Michael Jackson would have turned 54. The King of Pop, the best selling and perhaps most controversial artist of all times, died in June 2009, leaving a world in mourning.

As his death continues to stir debates and even cause family rifts, we’re choosing to mark what would have been his birthday with a positive message.

You’ll find it above, in the video embedded there.

This was the message that Michael always wanted us to pay attention to, his message of love, acceptance and friendship.

He was a controversial figure and, to many, a victim, but he also was, above all, an artist with a mission, the kind we don’t have that many these days – if at all. Never forget that.

RIP, Michael.
