Happy Birthday Michael Joseph Jackson

Today would have been the King of Pop’s 52nd birthday, it’s very easy to forget, because of the way he affected the world, how young he really was when he passed. But instead of mourning his death, or looking back at his life with a sense of sadness or otherwise, we here at PinBoard HQ choose to celebrate his memory and his legacy.

On the 1st anniversary of his passing PinBoard launched a new series called ‘The People’ – the first episode was dedicated to the great Michael Jackson. Asking everyday people on the streets of London what they thought of the gloved one and how his life & passing had affected their lives was a beautifully eye opening moment. While many may have ‘written him off’ during the last years of his life, it was great to see that his memory was being cherished and respected.

So, lets once again watch ‘The People On Michael Jackson’ and remind ourselves why this one man was so important to us and the world at large.
