While corporations, media outlets, and public figures were distancing themselves from the King of Pop, my organization \u2014 Body Sculpt of New York \u2014 honored Michael Jackson with the Caring for Kids Award at our Children\u2019s Choice Awards during the Second Annual Children\u2019s Sports &amp;amp; Fitness Expo. This video reveals the untold behind-the-scenes story of that historic moment and what it was really like standing beside Michael Jackson during a time when much of the world had turned against him. In this video, you'll discover: \u2022 The origins of the Children\u2019s Choice Awards and why I believed children deserved a voice. \u2022 What happened behind the scenes during Michael Jackson\u2019s appearance at our event. \u2022 How we lost a major financial sponsor for standing by the children\u2019s decision \u2014 and why I would make the same choice again today. \u2022 Insights from Bob Jones, Michael Jackson\u2019s former VP of Communications, who later described this as one of the most meaningful public appearances of Michael\u2019s career. This is more than a Michael Jackson story. It\u2019s a story about leadership, principle, courage, media pressure, and the power of giving young people a voice. If you remember Michael Jackson, the 1990s, or believe in standing by your mission even when it\u2019s difficult, this story is for you. #MichaelJackson #KingOfPop #MJLegacy #ChildrensChoiceAwards #BodySculptOfNY Connect with Vincent Ferguson Website: www.sixweekstofitness.com www.bodysculpt.org Podcast: Six Weeks to Fitness Podcast Instagram: @sixweekstofitnesscoaching LinkedIn: Vince Ferguson Email: vince@sixweeks.com ","author_name":"Six Weeks To Fitness with Vincent Ferguson","author_url":"https:\/\/www.6weekstofitness.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/41326255\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/202051055"}
