-MJ also left 20% of his trust earnings to several charities in his will. I thought that was really nice. I'm so glad others are recognizing MJ for his humanitarian efforts. He never bragged or sought publicity for what he did, but he did do a lot of good and I believe he was genuine. Too bad some people were so intent on making him out to be some kind of evil monster, but it's nice to see now that he's being recognized for all the good he did.
