You may recall Usher's emotional performance at the Michael Jackson tribute. What you may not know, or recall, is that the song he performed was written by Michael for Ryan White. Ryan was the namesake of the "Ryan White Care Act", which provides funding for ADAP (Aids Drug Assistance Programs), and for prevention programs across the country. In the clip below, Michael performs the song for the first time at Bill Clinton's inauguration celebration. I can't help but consider, that as you see the Clinton's notably moved by this performance, if Michael's plea didn't plant a seed for some of Clinton's future endeavors.Today, nearly half of the people receiving treatment for HIV in developing countries, benefit from medicines purchased under the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative. That influence my friends, is what people talk about when they refer to Michael as a great humanitarian. When they speak to the immeasurable impact that his life had, on so many.
