Efforts to Bring Michael’s Name Back to School (Second Release)

Join the group of supporters to bring Michael’s name back to the front of the Gardner School auditorium. More details - In 1970, Michael was a sixth-grade student at this school. He studied there during the day, and at night he performed on stage as the singer and the frontman of the Jackson Five. - On October 11, 1989, the school named its auditorium in his honor and as a gift “Michael Jackson.” Michael attended the unveiling ceremony. In return, Michael took on the school’s “custodianship”—for example, he paid the music teacher’s salary. He also planted rose bushes in the school yard, where students played, and wrote a keepsake on the wall of his old classroom. - In 2003, after the sexual allegation case against Michael, at the request of the students’ parents and with support from the school principal and the Los Angeles Department of Education, a cover was placed over Michael’s name. For six years, the “Michael Jackson Auditorium” was simply called “Auditorium.” But that’s no longer enough. A group of Michael fans calling themselves the “Michael Name Freedom Team” started a project a few months ago to remove his name from under the cover by sending letters and emails. Now that you’ve read this text, just send an email to make your contribution. Get the details (Word file) Source: eMJey
