Thursday, soon after I heard the news, I approached a group of African American 14 year olds with the sad tidings. "Michael Jackson is dead," I told them. "Who is Michael Jackson?" one replied. "I know, but I thought he was a white man," another replied. Keep in mind that "Thriller" was almost 30 years ago and he ain't got a thang in the charts. The next day I was in the library. "How's it going?" I asked the African American Librarian. "Fine, except for all these people wanting to talk about Michael Jackson," she replied. "Don't worry. It will all be over in a little." She brightened a little. I had made her day. I hope I made yours. |
