ATR 108 – Remembering Michael Jackson
We dedicate this episode to the memory of Michael Jackson and explore the role that race played in his life and career. In what ways did his music break racial barriers? What did the changes in his physical appearance say about his relationship to his racial identity? Carmen Van Kerckhove and Arturo Garcia discuss.

Not only did he break down the racial wall on MTV, it was done by (economic) force. http://rogerowengreen.blogspot.com/2009/06/michael-farrah-ed.html
Not incidentally, I have vitiligo, and I do think it messed with his head. http://rogerowengreen.blogspot.com/2007/07/michael-jacksons-disease.html
