MORE MJ...sorry for the delay but here is more footage of that magical and exciting day!!

It was on October 11th, 1989, at Gardner Elementary School, In Hollywood, CA , that Michael Jackson blessed us all with his presence to be honored and have the school auditorium dedicated to him. I was in 4th grade and had been selected to present the KING OF POP with the "KEY to the SCHOOL." I was nervous but poised because i was meeting someone i admired and idolized for his creativity, music and dancing. I hope that someday they removed the boards that now cover up his name due to his child molestation allegations. Luckily prior to presenting him the "Key to the school" i was introduced to him and his entourage backstage, as an icebreaker, i remember him pulling on my "DUCK TAIL" and asking me if i was planning on growing my hair our like his. I took a long pause and was nervous to answer but i said "no, sorry." In this video we also have the Gardner Elementary Choir performing with Michael Jackson and r&B/pop group The Boys. What i think is most amazing about this whole experience is the fact Michael Jackson realized he had the power to touch and affect many lives with his music and message, and it was one of the few times int he midst of the cold war and other trials and tribulations of the last century that people could come together and sing n dance as one.
