Michael Jackson
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)
Michael Joseph Jackson was an American recording artist, entertainer, and philanthropist. Referred to as the King of Pop, Michael is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all times by Guinness World Records. His contribution to music, dance and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. The eighth child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene alongside his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5 in the mid-1960s, and began his solo career in 1971.
Earth Day
Earth Day is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s environment. Earth day was a day founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in held on April 22, 1970 and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year. This day is celebrated in spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Numerous communities celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of activities focused on environmental issues. While the first Earth Day was focused entirely on the United States, an organization launched by Denis Hayes—the original national coordinator in 1970—took it international in 1990 and organized events in 141 nations. Earth Day is now observed every year on April 22 in just virtually every country on the planet. Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network. World Environment Day, celebrated on June 5 in a different nation every year, is the principal United Nations environmental observance.
