On June 11, 2003 Michael Jackson returned to his hometown Gary, Indiana (USA). Below follows a chronology of the events on that very special day:
MICHAEL AT THE CITY HALL
Michael arrived at Gary City Hall at approximately 12:27 pm in a black limo with a great deal of security. Escorted by more than a dozen security guards, he was met with a crowd of about four hundred people. Michael wore a black outfit with gold and white accents on the shoulders. He made the statement:
"It's great to be home. It's such a wonderful feeling. The hospitality is overwhelming. I left here at such a young age. I feel so much love. I love you all so much. Thank you for this wonderful, magical day that I'll never forget."
The crowd was ecstatic with enthusiasm and joy.
He then entered the City Hall to accept the key to the city and have a brief press conference. He stated this is his first trip back to Gary, Indiana since age 9 and he was very happy to be home. Scott L. King, Mayor of Gary presented the key to Michael and a street sign that said Jackson and said:
"Now that you have the key, you don't have to be a stranger."
During a press conference with Gary Mayor Scott King it was announced that Michael would help develop a performing arts center for the city. The center will be named the 'Michael J. Jackson Performing Arts Center.' According to mayor King the singer will support the project in any role he feels comfortable with, for example helping with the design or fund-raising. Michael Jackson added that being back in his hometown gives him a "wonderful feeling" and that he feels so much love that he feels like a king.
MICHAEL AT ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL
Michael Jackson visited Roosevelt High School where the Jackson Five performed in the 1960's. Michael told students that "with a will of iron, with perseverance and determination" they can do anything they want. The students gave him gifts and a band played 'Beat It' and 'Thriller.'
A concert choir from Gary's Emerson School for the Visual and Performing Arts performed "Benedictus," and other students sang and danced. He was made an honorary Roosevelt graduated and then continued on to an unlikely next stop...the local KFC! The entourage bought meals while Michael remained in the parking lot, signing autographs, and posing for photographs. |
