@zimmermann_054On this date in 2003, Michael Jackson made a rare return to his hometown of Gary, Indiana. It was his first visit in about 20 years. He received the key to the city, visited his childhood home at 2300 Jackson Street, and received an honorary diploma and letter jacket at Roosevelt High School. The occasion marked a significant moment for the pop icon and the community where he grew up.
