Michael Jackson

Enough has been said about the man already elsewhere so not much point adding to that. Michael Jackson was significant for 3 reasons. He was the first African American musician to have ignored the barriers and push forward and he did not accept limitations imposed by a racist society. He was a man who was never allowed to be a child and had therefore lived in a very unreal world that he may not have understood that same world build him up and wanted to bring him down. He was also a great artist and produced some very good music. He will be remembered in years to come as the man who never grew up the man who genuinely did not believe that race or background should determine where you are and where you can get to. A true hero of meritocracy.
