In 1984, The Washington Post wrote about Michael Jackson’s charitable donations from his Victory Tour earnings: “Fewer persons, black or white, have created lasting philanthropic memorials to celebrate their struggle and achievement and to perpetuate their generosity. The $5 million Jackson has committed to charity gives him the rare opportunity to be the exception.” #MJHumanitarian
