Michael Jackson - Oxford Speech 2001 (part 4/4) w/ full text

Heal the Kids, Part 4 of 4. Beautiful and important speech by Michael Jackson to Oxford Union (Oxford University, UK) in 2001. Full text included in video. Michael was a kind and gentle person, intelligent and funny, warm and loving. And a true humanitarian. Here he pleads for us all to reconnect with our families, to forgive, to end the violence in schools and heal the hearts of the children, including our own inner child. He talks about his own childhood and the difficulties he faced in the relationship with his father. I wish everyone would listen to this. We miss you, Michael. I love you forever.

This version of the audio is at a corrected speed/pitch instead of the too fast Mickey Mouse-sounding one.

P.S. This was originally uploaded in early June 2009 under my old account. Too bad all your beautiful comments were also erased when my entire account got shut down right after Michael's passing (due to other short clips, not this one), ahem. Please comment again =:-(

why is there music in the background to this?

[begodsglow]

@Archiesquaddy Great question. I have no idea. It's in the recording everyone has. I don't know if it was transferred to digital format with MJ music playing in the background or what.Strange, I know. (Well, the end of part 4 here HTW was added just because it was pretty, but I'm assuming you're talking about hearing Thriller or Billie Jean faintly all the way through. No clue on that, lol.)

i would like to apologize to Michael and his family for believing some of the negative things that was said about him.i hope i had the chance to know him better when he was alive.

all that was presented to me was him being an entertainer, a GREAT entertainer. but his image was tarnished by all the negative press on him. i'M SORRY. I hope u can forgive me..

[CertifiedDyme]

he is a BEAUTIFUL SPEAKER!

you feel the emotions behind his words!

God bless you michael!

[prince2nd]

[Rockinthisway]

God bless his heart! *tears*

[mjispureofheart]

I never heard him speak like this. He is simply brilliant in so many ways. But, more than that a purer heart of gold the world will scarcely see. Rest in heaven Michael. No more pain.

@bigwheelsify you are forgiven and loved, that is a beautiful thing to say and michael would be overwhelmed

[MichaelJacksonlov821]

I understand whole heartly what he was saying Michael was surely right when he said dont judge your parents help them understand and extend your hand, forgive. I judged my parents on how they raised me but with Michaels message he helped me understand now I talk to them much more than I usually did. Thats how Michael helped me and changed me. THANK YOU MICHAEL SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONCERN FOR THE WORLD.

LOVE,FORGIVENESS,TRUTH AND TRUST IS ALL WE NEED INDEED.

he pushed me because hoe loved me... It made me cry! 

[LoveYouMJforever2014]

I love you so much Michael! No words will ever be able to describe how much I LOVE and CHERISH you. Someday I will meet you, and that will be the greatest day of my life. God put you here for a reason, and are truly the most loving, caring, beautiful, wonderful, and most special person to walk this Earth. I will LOVE you forever Michael.

Thank you begodsglow for posting our beloved Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson's 2001 Oxford Speech. It was such an honor and joy for me to hear beloved Michael's words. "“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” Mahatma Gandhi - I am so proud of Michael. He knew that unforgiveness is like posion and chose to move forward in forgiving his father. Michael was overflowing with wisdom that others can learn from. Beloved Michael truly is a genuine masterpiece of God!
