May 10
Michael, you have God-given talent. And if a person is to make a difference in the world, he must preserve that talent, develop it, and use it for the good of others. Because of your musical talent, you have stirred generations of people all across the world. And for that, history has reserved a page for you in its annals. And then, for your humanitarian acts—for caring about what happens to people, caring enough to do your very best—I assure you that immortality will cradle you gently in its arms, and you will be forever known.
MICHAEL JACKSON honored with the Frederick D. Patterson Award by the UNCF
