The Michael Jackson Auditorium - 24 Years On

Three years ago today on October 15, 2010 Michael's beautiful name was at last revealed and once again adorned the Auditorium dedicated in his honour 24 years ago. On October 11 1989 he attended the inauguration ceremony at his former Gardner Street Elementary School and it was an incredibly happy day for Michael; he humbly thanked the school and spoke to the students, visited former classrooms and joined the children singing 'We Are The World' before personally unveiling his name above the entrance where it stood tall for the next 14 years.

In 2003 in the wake of Michael's trial The Gardner St School shamefully had his name covered, breaking his heart and causing mass uproar within his devoted fan base. Sadly Michael passed with that pain in his heart, but his fans never relented. In early 2010 all over the world and on Facebook began a massive Campaign to have Michael's name restored and uncovered on the auditorium. School officials admitted they had received a groundswell of requests to uncover his name. The president of the school's P.T.A. said that on parents' night, when the principal approached the subject, all 200 parents assembled were in favour of restoring the sign.

We have put this video together as a thank you to all Michael Jackson fans on Facebook and the world over for their unwavering support. We must never give up, HIS LEGACY LIVES ON THROUGH US ALL.
