Michael Jacksons humanitarian background commences during his early years, when, out of his daily earnings as a Jackson 5 lead member, he would purchase ice-cream and chewing gum for children in his neighborhood, according to himself, his mother, Katherine, and father Joseph. Both as a child and until later in his life (as required by his Jehovahs Witnesses religion), he would deliver Bibles door to door to families and preach to them the word of God, while concealing his renowned identity with disguises. As Jehova's Witnesses, he, along with his mother and siblings would not celebrate birthdays and Christmases.

The Early Years:

Comedians Bill Cosby and Redd Foxx, and music artists Billy Ekstine, Mahalia Jackson, B. B. King, the Four Tops and the Jackson 5 entertain crowd of 12,000 spectators on August 12 . Louis himself is too ill to attend, although a vacant chair is left in front in his honor. Berry Gordy, himself a former boxer, serves as the Honorary Chair for the event, and is probably responsible for getting the Jackson Five to perform for the gig.

On January 31, 1971, the Jackson 5 return to their home county, Gary, Indiana, to play two benefit concerts for Mayor Richard G. Hatchers re-election campaign at Westside High School. A ceremony is held outside their former home at 2300 Jackson Street .

On November 18, 1972, Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 perform at an NAACP fund-raising dinner at Hollywood, Palladium, California, at the 6th annual Black Image Awards.

Robinette received a bone marrow transplant, and was one of the youngest to ever have the procedure. She went through chemotherapy, radiation, an ever-changing plethora of medications and was kept in isolation for three months; her state of health was precarious, the doctors saying, after she was dismissed from the hospital, that she might live 10 years. I was sitting in my room looking out the window, ironically listening to 'Looking Through the Window' by the Jackson 5, when I heard all the nurses going wild and carrying on, Robinette declares 26 years later. Coincidentally, the Jackson 5 were there. They asked me which one I wanted to see, and I said I wanted to see Michael - he was the cute one, she says, laughing. She describes teenage Jackson as shy, but kind and sincere, signing an autographer for her, holding her hand and asking about her state. I would never say that he saved her life - that's crazy - but he gave her back a little of her will to live because she had lost it, Trine Robinette, Leslies sister adds. Leslie eventually did improve, and her family returned to their farm in Greeneville, Tenn., where she still lives with her parents. 11 years later, Leslie met Jackson again, while he was on tour in Knoxville with his brothers, where she received free tickets, then went backstage to meet the Jackson clan. "I asked him if he remembered me, and he said yes. We talked about my singing in chorus and how I was getting my back brace off soon, Robinette says. Jackson then told his security detail that she was his guest, so she got to watch the third show from a raised VIP platform, seated right next to Jackson's mother, Katherine. Still struggling with her disease, she is less than 4 feet tall and weighs about 60 pounds, but she is now 42 and is involved in North American Riding for the Handicapped Association and currently is training to become an instructor. "I've always felt that Michael and I were kind of kindred spirits, because we both grew up not being able to really go anywhere or do anything normal kids do, Robinette says, adding that she hopes people will remember Michael Jackson for his good deeds and music. On August 16, 1973, Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 perform in a benefit gig at St. Paul Civic Center Arena in Minnesota, with proceeds of the concert being funneled to the

said hello. He said he was pleased to meet me. I was gobsmacked. He was very gentle and seemed shy. I got the sense he had a deep love for children, especially those whod been hurt.

He wrote a couple of lines for James and he named it 'Child Of Innocence'. We played Michael's song at James' funeral. I've listened to 'Heal The World' over and over again and it gave me such a buzz when we found out we could release it to raise money for the James Bulger House. The words in the song are very touching. I feel the world does need healing with children committing crimes. It is very upsetting the way the world is at the moment, bullying is going on everywhere."

In September, 2009, a YouTube member, MYGRANDSONDEVIN, posts the following lines underneath a fan video by mjchicco for song Privacy: I know people judged him so wrongly. I met Mike & got to know him, because my 3 year old little grandson had severe cerebal (sic) palsy - couldn't walk - talked very few sounds - couldn't eat by mouth (fed through a tube) - blind in both eyes & Mike came to see him. He stayed at our house to see if there was anything he could do. But, unfortunately, my grandson died., the post reads.

(Michael Jackson) was a bigger philanthropist than most people gave him credit for, USA for Africa Executive Director, Marcia Thomas, says of the singer-entertainer. He didn't do it for the credit. He did it because he felt it was the right thing to do. Nancy Birdsall, president of the Washington-based Center for Global Development, adds that 'We Are the World' marked what at that time was a high point in rich-world concern about poor people in the developing world. That sort of awareness helps to open the way not only for more effective foreign assistance but for other changes in policy, such as trade and migration, that can have a big impact on poor people's lives. The 2 legal documents, transferring his rights and profits to the group USA for Africa, are estimated to gross in 50,000 dollars at the Alexander Autographs auction at the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut. The in-person and online auction includes a huge number of rock-and-roll and Hollywood artifacts and is organized by an auction house noted for its historical and political offerings.

We Are Here To Change the World and Another Part of Me , the latter of which appearing on 1987s album, BAD. The story of the film consists of E.O., played by Jackson, leading a troupe of space misfits on yet another dangerous mission to the nether regions of space. This particular mission involves traveling to a surreal, industrial-looking planet and finding the Supreme Leader (played by actress Anjelica Houston) to give her the gift of music; this gift, E.O. says, will help her unlock the beauty within. Captain E.O. originally opened at Disneyland Park and Epcot at Disney World in September 1986; it opened the following year at Tokyo Disneyland and was an opening-day attraction at the then-named Euro Disneyland (now Disneyland Paris) in 1992. By 1998, however, all the Captain E.O. attractions in the four Disney Parks were closed, and later replaced with the far less successful, Honey, I Shrunk the Audience. Due to popular demand by guests, spurred by Jacksons untimely passing on June 25, 2009, Disneyland offered a special engagement limited return of Captain E.O.. The show will also re-open later this summer at Epcot and Tokyo Disneyland. Although the run is limited, Disney has not announced a timeframe for the shows closing.

"Besides his talent as a musician and entertainer, it's his humanitarian efforts. the fact that he really wanted to bring joy and happiness to sick and disabled children. [...] Michael has always used that fame to give to others. He worked with lots of charities to help sick children and their families. He worked very hard every day yet during the Thriller period, through the Victory Tour and even after, he'd go and visit children's hospitals, do appearances for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Ronald McDonald House, local hospices when he was off, much of the time it went unnoticed by the media. That was Michael's decision, these were private moments dedicated to help. Lots of artists today don't do that, you don't see them as concerned as Michael was. [Journalist Frdric Tadde 2008]
