By Popular Critic | Published on June 25, 2011

Michael Jackson is remembered two years after his untimely death. The mega pop star was on his way to a sure fired comeback with a “This is It” tour when on June 25th, 2009 he was pronounced dead. The event sent shock waves through the world. I recalled I was traveling back home on a Delta flight when I flipped to CNN to hear the shocking news – still sad.

Dr. Conrad Murray is on trial for involuntary manslaughter as he stands accused of administering the fatal does of meds to Michael. Conrad has long maintained his innocence and may have a surprising ally in his corner. Michael’s sister La Toya Jackson who’s out promoting her new book “Starting Over” has called Conrad the “fall guy”. La Toya sat with Matt Lauer and shared that Michael feared someone was out to get him.

“I could never perform again, because I know they’re going to kill me”. Matt continued to prod asking for specifics. Jackson responded, “Everyone that surrounded that and was involved in that.” “When you read the book and read between the lines … Michael led you to that. To what was going to happen. When you read the book you understand completely”.

Despite all the drama surrounding Michael’s death, his legacy still leaves on. MTV charted a list of Michael Jackson’s posthumous success. Most notable is Michael’s best selling album ever – “Thriller”. According to MTV, Michael sold more than 16 million digital tracks since June 28, 2009, the first sales week following his passing.

So in remembrance of the late great Michael Jackson, here’s “Thriller”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
