On what would have been Michael Jackson’s 68th birthday, I’m remembering the extraordinary gift he shared with the world and the special connection he had with my mother and our family.
This photo of Michael with my mother takes me back to a time when his remarkable talent was already captivating the world.
Happy heavenly birthday, Michael. Your music, creativity, and impact continue to live on.

🚨 DAMN.
Ruby Bridges said the moment she finally understood what was happening during school integration was when a little white boy told her:
“My mom said I can’t play with you because you’re a nigger.”
She was SIX.
And she said hearing that felt like “a huge weight lifted,” because suddenly everything made sense.
Why the classrooms were empty.
Why adults were screaming.
Why U.S. Marshals had to escort her to school.
Not because of anything she did.
Just because of the color of her skin.
A six-year-old child realizing an entire country was angry at her for existing.

Elizabeth Eckford is 84 and still with us, a living reminder that history isn't always ancient. At 15, she became one of the Little Rock Nine, walking alone into Central High in 1957 while facing a screaming mob of segregationists. She later graduated from Central State Univ.
