PROTECTING HIS LEGACY: MJ fam - here we are over 11 years since of my Uncle Michael's passing. Instea… Taj Jackson needs your support for Righting HIStory
For the first time since starting this project, I have had to take a selfish break from "Righting HIStory". Since September 15, the day my dad died, I have felt completely lost. My dad was my biggest supporter and the one who believed in me when no one else did. Whenever I doubted my abilities, he was there to push me to overcome that doubt. He believed in “Righting HIStory” so much that he even wrote and signed a quick statement in order to help me secure outside investors for this project. Losing my dad wasn’t just a personal loss—it was a loss for "Righting HIStory" as well. His unwavering support was irreplaceable, and it feels like this journey is missing a vital piece without him.
A lot of the strength and courage I draw upon to fight for my uncle Michael’s legacy came directly from watching my dad. He was always calm, cool, and, most importantly, authentic. My dad’s steadfast loyalty to Michael never wavered. He was a tireless advocate for his brother, always ready to stand up and correct misconceptions. He did it with a quiet dignity that showed the depth of their bond. Watching him defend Michael with such passion and grace taught me so much about loyalty, integrity, and standing up for what you believe in. I will forever be grateful for the example he set.
My dad’s brotherly pride in Michael was immeasurable. He celebrated every one of Michael’s milestones as if they were his own, cherishing each moment of his brother’s success. Even after Michael passed, my dad dedicated himself to protecting his younger brother’s character, sharing personal stories that revealed the kind, generous man Michael truly was. I know the strength I have to continue fighting for Michael’s legacy comes from my dad. He wasn’t just Michael’s bigger brother—he was his friend, protector, and one of his most loyal supporters. I’m proud to carry on that fight, inspired by the man who taught me how.
Here are 3 videos of my dad in action, standing up for his brother:
And here are two of my favorite quotes from my Dad :
“My brother was the baddest boy that ever held the microphone. That boy was bad.” — Tito Jackson
Sway: "Was Mike a ladies man?"
Tito: "Oh...Are you kidding me? I used to tell people when they used to say things, he's gay or whatever. I say, "No he ain't. Leave your wife or your girl with him for the day, and you'll find out"
I wrote all this because although it will personally be a hard road ahead for me, I am more determined than ever to knock “Righting History” out of the park for both MJ and Poppa T.
