S1x8 "Children of the World"

In this 8th episode of "Reading Michael Jackson" we will start with a brief discussion of the artist David Nordhal, whose work is featured in "Dancing the Dream," sharing a bit from an interview he conducted in 2009. Then we discuss the poem "Children of the World" and Michael's belief in resilience and maintaining innocence in the face of difficult circumstances. But it could also be argued that this poem is a kind of call to action, not specifically to "children," but to all of us.
