In May 1984, Michael Jackson stood quietly at the White House beside President Ronald Reagan, not to perform, but to support a cause that was saving lives. Millions now follow Michael Jackson for their raw honesty and relatable feelings, and the video, “Michael Jackson – Drunk Driving Campaign Ceremony” shows a softer, more human side of him: thoughtful, humble, and sincere.
