Everyone needs to watch this. Everyone.

can you imagine… the legendary Nicholas Brothers & Michael, who as a teenager, tapped at their level. To this day, he is the only musician aka non professional dancer to be inducted into the Dance Hall of Fame.

@TheAfrocentricI And then he had to turn around and give the eulogy at James’ funeral

@TheAfrocentricI I so wish journalists talked to him about his craft and his intelligence and his passions.

It’s heartwarming to know this moment meant as much to Michael as it did to us.

Who did this? LMAOOOOO

Alfonso was offered money to lie and claim MJ abused him in the 90s.

Everything I studied about Reconstruction in college really made me lose faith in America, as a project. Southern Black Republicans took the poor, landless Southern white peasantry and gave them agency, schools, etc., and they just repaid them with Jim Crow.

@FlyoutChase THE BATTLE OVER THE ESTATE OF MICHAEL JACKSON youtu.be/KdI2e3E6EFk?si… #JohnBranca seized the Estate of #MichaelJackson by forging Michaels will, taking Control of the Estate. Branca now controls the #MichaelJackson Estate, image and likeness. To do this Michael had to die.

Roundup often gets a bad rap since it, you know, causes cancer and other terminal illnesses. But don’t forget it played a huge role in collapsing the bee population, which may lead to the most deaths in the long run.

She is 95 years old At age 2, she survived polio, which left her with a lifelong limp She spotted baby Michael dancing rhythmically to their old Maytag washing machine before he could even walk Michael Jackson lived with her until nearly age 30, calling her his emotional anchor. Katherine hand-sewed the Jackson 5's early stage costumes, including the iconic lime-green suits for their "ABC" era While Joe (her husband) rehearsed the boys, Katherine sang harmonies with them around the kitchen table late into the night She became a Jehovah's Witness when Michael was about 5 and raised all her children with deep faith and door-to-door ministry Michael Jackson credited her gentle love and vocal gifts for making him feel truly special as a child She worked part-time at Sears while staying up late sewing outfits and ironing for performances Michael once said her warmth made him unable to imagine life without a mother's love She wept on the witness stand "When I lost Michael, I lost everything" Michael wrote her poetry and remodeled her home with giant family photos on the walls. She played piano, clarinet, and cello, nurturing music in the tiny Gary house. Katherine received the news of Michael's death while out in field service (ministry work) She told Michael he was "too much like me" and worried for him because of it At the Michael biopic premiere, her rare appearance moved fans to tears. She has lost 3 out of her 10 children. And has said losing a child is the most painful thing to happen to anyone. Despite family scandals, she remains the unbreakable glue keeping the Jacksons united . . . Honestly, you've got to credit Katherine Jackson for holding the family together. Imagine the raging family scandals and extreme media pressures that she must have pushed through, and still made sure these scandals didn't separate her family's bond. . . . But more importantly, I want you to observe how Katherine possessed valuable skills that helped start the Jackson band. If she didn't know these music, instrument and vocal skills, it would have been harder to guide her children in their musical journey. . . If you are a parent, or you ever wish to be a parent someday, then I want you to go learn valuable skills that you believe would aid or support the natural talents of your children Katherine could harmonize and play the instruments, and that made it easier for her children to blend instruments and melody into their band . . . There's a joy in every parent, when they can aid the natural talents of their children. It makes the process and journey easier for their children. Even parenting and parenthood would become fulfilling for the parents . . . ✍️ Vincent the Therapist
