[MJ58ful]

Michael I love you so much..Forever!!!!:((

[Karimsatta]

I love You Michael!

[AnotherPart0fMe]

Thanks for sharing this!

And THANK YOU!!! to the group that worked to get Michael's name uncovered. You have done a really, really good thing!

Look at him! He's so gorgeous! He looks so happy and honored to be there. He is truly humbled. LLOOOOOVE to hear him talk...aren't there more people to thank?....Ohh that smile....I'm dying....

Sorry. It's the person inside that I really love, but sometimes I have to just appreciate the package. (No pun intended.)

[paradais2]

Just beautiful! It's so good to see Michael back at his old school being respected. it's good also I'm sure for him to reflect on how he'd come in his life since he was their age, except he was an extraordinary child, which perhaps made his journey a little easier. It's also great that the children can see Michael, who must have been such an inspiration for all of them. Lovely to see Michael smiling. So glad his name has bee rightfully uncovered. Congratulations to the school for this.

[tube4mj]

Thank you do much for sharing your experience. I am sure this is a moment you will look back on with pride and love. If is wonderful that Michael's name has now been uncovered. I am sure Michael is looking down with a smile from ear to ear. We are one step further to healing the world :)

[secondgradeparty]

YEAH... I was there at the dedication. My son was a student in Mr. Esquivel's sixth grade class where Michael signed his name.I was on PTA board and invited to event. Was inside halls, etc. I remember it like it was yesterday. We moved far away, and i never knew sign was covered up until fb started campaign to uncover. I only hope Michael didn't know it was covered up, i hate that he was publicly humiliated. Which it had been uncovered after the not guility verdict! But this is a GREAt VICTORY

[lisharae61]

Fantastic video! This is a fantastic day for everyone who believes in goodness, truth and beauty. Thank you so much for posting this and for speaking out for what is right. This amazing song sounds as fresh and relevant as it did on the day it was recorded in 1989. WE ARE THE WORLD. Truly. Let's all think about how we can move forward by living this timeless message.

[SOLONOY]

Robert, hi.

Thank you for your video, thanks for your speech. You are lucky to meet Michael !!!! His name is uncovered now, thanks God. Michael is innocent, he is the biggest music artist and humanitarian of all time.

[rdiciommo]

@SOLONOY This was a great victory my friend and THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

[nessatzn9]

when Michael started clapping everybody started clapping ^^

[Scenequeensworld]

i went to that school such an amazing school miss it so much <3 mrs. Diaz<3

[johanna006]

Aww.... It's almost on the same date that they took the boards off. And next week (Oct 19th) will be the re-dedication.

[EdnaFrom85]

@johanna006 As well as they SHOULD re-dedicate it! Michael is definitely smiling now, no doubt!

[EdnaFrom85]

I'm sooo happy they put his name back!!!!

I have the biggest smile right now!

Michael must be happy too, he deserves EVERY bit of recognition that he gets!

We love you Michael!

And... ahem... he was drop dead goregous during this time!

Those kids were sooo cute. They kept glancing at MJ, who was singing along! You all were so freaking LUCKY. I envy all of you! I was what, 4?! and in Atlanta!? It's not fair! lol

[MemoriesDreamer]

It's official: Michael Jackson's name has been restored and uncovered on the Gardner Street Elementary School Auditorium in Los Angeles, California. It's the Michael Jackson Auditorium again after seven long years (2003-2010).

[schurzie1]

Did you hear the GREAT NEWS? Today, October 15, 2010,, Michael's name was restored to Gardner Street School Auditorium. This is such a cause for celebration. Of course, no apology (yet) from the school district. Katherine Jackson and the school district are to issue a joint statement in the near future.  One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind as they say!

[thebelissima64]

@schurzie1 I got a text message from my friend in LA. Great news indeed! We've won this battle but not the war. Let's continue our fight to clear his name.

Thanks to all the Michael Jackson Soldiers of Love who were involved in this campaign! God bless!

[MSI1976]

thank you! he was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thebelissima64]

Thanks for sharing the amazing video! Do you have the part where he is unveiling the sign? I'd love to see it. You were such a good speaker at that age (I don't think I would have been able to do it. I would have fainted!). Wow, you got to meet our King of Pop. The kid at 4:17, another lucky one to have Michael stand right beside him. Look at the kid's face, he was watching Michael in such awe.

I do hope they uncovered his name!

God bless!

[MemoriesDreamer]

This footage is really precious. Thank you for sharing. You were truly one of the luckiest kids in the world!

To the school board: Uncover Michael's name, at last!!!!!!

[ilovemichaeljackson7]

Gardner Elementary School Please UNCOVER Michael Jacksons name

[jkool20]

lol when the kids were singing we are the world they all kept looking at michael

[27yohana]

I LOVE HIM IN THAT BAD ERA! MY GOD,HE LOOKS AMAZING..JUST WONDERFULL ..

[LunaJo67]

Oh what a wonderful experience that must have been for you! Thanks for sharing this with us...Much MichaeL.O.V.E.

[supermjjfan1]

I smiled thru this and when I started reading the comments,I started to cry too. It is so wrong that Michael `s whole life has been sullied by a few nutbars and his whole body of work is tainted by the ravings and greediness of vultures. MJ I wish I could take all this for you,I really do.

[MissysPussy]

@supermjjfan1

look back at our history. Repetitions.This guy had enemies everywhere. The industry, the right-wing and left-wing extremists, the church, the Jehovahs, all jealous idiots followed the greedy press.

[supermjjfan1]

@MissysPussy

Yep,he sure did.And for what? Oh yeah cause he was black,an individual and gentle.

[EdnaFrom85]

@supermjjfan1 Your comment is very true... I lol'd when I read "nutbars", that's hilarious! Day by day, he is being vindicated! At last!

[supermjjfan1]

@EdnaFrom85

Hey sorry it took so long to get back to you. But it is refreshing that the worm is starting to turn. Michael will have his victory...and we,as his family,will do anything it takes to achieve this! L.O.V.E.Keep on Michaeling!

[HEBAMOON]

wow that is awesome video

i did not see it before

thank you my dear friend for sharing

great work

[MrsMija49]

First my Heart melted, then my bottom lip started to quiver...major melt down here!!!

So precious...listening to the Children and watching MJ...loved it so much..thank you for sharing...(((HUGS)))

[777mayflower]

@poetGerri Thank you so much for sending me this video...really sweet. Some footage is new to me (the beginning where Michael arrives at the school)

Lets hope they will uncover his name soon!

And @disenchantedhero thank you for posting! You were indeed the lucky one and you did such a good job :) You can tell by Michael`s big smile he enjoyed your speech.

[forevermadalyn]

@777mayflower Thank you for sending this to me! That was so cute. I love seeing his face, & he always looks so happy when he's around kids. It just warms my heart. I love you, Michael.

[fawnie1208]

@777mayflower Thank you. This was wonderful.

[PoetGerri]

How lucky you are to have gotten the chance to meet Michael. I love your speech and how you presented the key to him. And yes, you were the luckiest kid in the school. What an incredible memory. I do hope they remove the boards that cover his name at the school.

[Guitarisma]

This is a Miracle!!! I love you Michael Jackson!!!

[lilbinarw]

I LOVE TO SEE MIKE WITH CHILDREN.......IT SEEMS LIKE HE WOULD'VE BEEN A GREAT MUSIC TEACHER.

[PoetGerri]

@lilbinarw  Wow, Micheal as a music teacher. How totally awesome would that have been.

[earthlyme]

That was Beautiful!

[MrsMJJForever1]

This is so beautiful. The look on the kids' faces as well as Michael's is priceless. He's such a beauty and when he's with children, I see innocence and purity. Seeing him smile, makes me happy. They should put his name back up because the lies that have been spread about him couldn't be farther from the truth. Makes me kinda sad just thinking about it. I love you so much Michael my dearest Angel. I've been looking for the full version of this everywhere....thank you so much for sharing it. :)

[29mikeylover]

the little boy besides michael is starring at him..

it cant sing.. hahaha...

maybe in his mind michael is cute.. hahaha

[AlovesMJ]

You're the kid that gave him the key?!! Wow! I always thought that kid was so funny and adorable! :) What an incredible memory to cherish. I never got to see Michael once, not even in concert :( Michael looks beautiful as always.

[spokita229]

Gardner is my last name.

[mjfan121]

i cried because of this video,just seeing him look so happy.

THANK YOU for sharing this wonderful video with us all,thank you verry much.

[chieaa411]

aww michael is such a cutie!!! you could see the little girl and the little boy looking at michael while they're singing! they're so nervous that they missed some words to the song--so cute ^_^

[LEAHCIM829]

Aww MJ was so happy. He love kids sooo much. Great video:)

[olliemnu]

it's so cuuuute!!!! and look at a boy near MJ, he seeing on Michael through whole song.

[jhgfdsslm]

very beautiful video Michael looked happy and beautiful like always, the footage is so clear thanks for sharing this with us, and thanks angela for the video *hugs* Michael looks good and red.

[itsme123445]

I thought he was home schooled??

[DaiNadienne]

OMG... he is so beautiful... and even more here... oh gowd...

I've cryed from the start to the end... it's almost hurtful see him.. in here... nowadays...though it's beautiful, of course...

thx for posting, Robert..

thx for sharing, adina

[GogoPandamonium]

aww, that's so cute, and the kid standing next to michael when they sang we are the worl couldn't take his eyes off him, so lucky!

[mjfan6513]

Wow this is amazing :) Thanks for sharing :D We should all rally in some way or protest to have the boards removed! Especially right now! Imagine the statement we'd make if this was accomplished! :D

[MrsMJ2007]

They need to put his name back on the school. The man was found innocent b/c he always was. It's sad the way a man who gave so much of himself has been so dishonored and mistreated. I want to remember the happier times like this one.

[graciana83]

@MrsMJ2007 :-( it's really sad...

[ComoLaFlorr]

@MrsMJ2007 thank you for sharing i loved it

[MarbleMemories]

inside the policemen's heads: "omg I'm protecing Michael Jackson!!!! omg omg omg omg he just looked at me!!!! ME!! i gotta call my wife"

[samu141082]

it's too late to make something in order to uncover his name...but you have to know there's a group on fb who collected letters all over the word and on april 12 they'll go personally at Gardner School to talk to THE PRINCIPAL Mr. Kenneth Urbina and give him all letters...I hope he could take the right decision...I'm Italian and I sent two letters ;)

[andrabad]

OMG!!!! He's beautiful. love him!

[sadmoonrisin]

I am a part of the efforts to get MJ's name uncovered. I have to say that after watching this video, It breaks my heart even more. This was a moment in time that was so cherished by MJ and all the children who got to sing for him. It is very much a travesty that the school was so quick to judge him and condemn him when they met him in person, felt his presence that was genuine. How could they ever think he was guilty? The love & happiness towards children resonates right through this video~!

[sugarlandsirish48fan]

What a sweet treat. The little boy standing in the chorus right next to Michael looks so nervous. Can you imagine being that little boy? Wow.Thank you so much.

[disenchantedhero]

You are all very welcome, i had even more footage after the song is complete but i need to -recompress the video, it is of the KING OF POP taking a tour through the school and signing his old classroom blackboard, and also in there u see a young Thora Birch (actress) who attended Gardner, when she wasn't off acting

[kimtv5]

@disenchantedhero

omg please put all that footage! i went to gardner from 1st to 5th this would be awesome!

[babygyrl07]

can you post that?

[lilbinarw]

@disenchantedhero OH PLEEEEEEEASE HURRY UP AND POST IT SO I CAN SAVE IT ON TO MY PLAYLIST. PLEEEASE?

[MJpervfuckthehaters]

@disenchantedhero this must be the most complete footage I've seen from that day. thank you so much!! is there any chance you'll be uploading the rest of what you have?

[secondgradeparty]

@disenchantedhero OMG thank you so so much ! I remember everything, but we moved far away and I never knew the sign was covered until FB campaign, My son had Mr. Esquivel and I was in rm when Michael signed his name on board. Thank you for all of this. I loved Michael so much. I only wish they had done this after the not guilty verdict was read.. I hate that MJ was humiliated like that. I remember the flower garden too.

[singforpeace52]

@secondgradeparty How wonderful that you were actually there that day. And how fabulous that the campaign to uncover his name was successful. It is ridiculous that it took that and his death to get the district to do this.

[foreverneverO7]

@lesliefan79 he's the kid that presented him the key!

[fakahi]

We love you KING MICHAEL forever,we grew up with you music,and we will die with your music.

R.I.P OUR SWEET ANGEL.

[moviestarblonde]

Lovely video. I love the little boy singing next to Michael..he can't take his eyes of him.:) How Sweet.:):) A day you will never forget. Very sad that they decided to cover up his name..they should be proud. Michael was found innocent in a court of law.

[kasa989]

Great Video! I can't imagine how happy he was, nor how lucky you were to have been able to meet him personally!!! His smile melts my heart! :P Great presentation of his music and message.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

It's all for love. L-O-V-E. Love. ~Our Beautiful MJ

[rmtmilly]

I sang too, for the longest I have searched for this video, and until today I finally have proof that I sang We Are The World with Michael, Thanks for finally posting it, Michael will always be in my heart. I was the 3rd little girl on the first row from left to right.

[Sharon41421]

WOW! I've never seen this footage of this like this! Wonderful. Thank you for uploading this from other angles. WOW! Always exciting to see new things. Provo! :) Love you MJ

[KingMichaelLives]

wow that's beautiful. thanks for uploading :D

[Dreamzville]

AMAZING. I loved it when the teacher gets the audience to join in. That was so beautiful...all those kids' faces! :)

[utube62509]

Thanks for posting. Michael looks so happy here. Is there anything we can do to get the cover off his name? Why are people to unkind to such a sweet person?

[ilovemjalways]

@utube62509

Michael Jackson's name has been uncovered on the school auditorium!

On Friday October 15th 2010.

(I wish he was here to see this day)
