just days before he is due to speak at the famous Oxford Union.

Michael Jackson at Carnegie Hall
On February 14, 2001, Michael Jackson's Heal The Kids Foundation and The Seminar Center presented a panel of children's experts and celebrities in a lively,
insightful and entertaining discourse about romantic love, family devotion and professional dedication: "Love, Work and Parenting: Can You Be A Success In
The Bedroom, Boardroom and Family Room?"
The seminar was seen a success by the fans present. At the end one reporter asked a very young child what she learned this evening. She
said, "I learned that if you have a child, you have to care for them and pay a lot of attention to them....and it doesn't matter what race they are."
Michael's speech was very eloquent. He began to cry at one point when talking about the needs of children.
Michael looked well and arrived in a black Jeep Cherokie type car through a back entrance where fans awaited him with signs, banners, gifts, flowers
and chants. The media, including the program "Extra" and local news filmed many of the fans.
