NASHVILLE — Megastar Michael Jackson’s musical legacy has been getting critically reappraised after a new documentary rekindled allegations of child sexual abuse, but at least two music museums in Detroit and Tennessee aren’t scrubbing the King of Pop from their exhibits. The National Museum for African American Music says some Michael Jackson artifacts will be on display in a planned exhibit called “One Nation Under A Groove,” when the museum opens in downtown Nashville in early 2020. “Michael Jackson’s musical contributions remain part of the Motown story,” Robin Terry said. “The importance of Michael Jackson’s music to the African American culture, and to the American soundtrack, is unrivalled,” said H. Beecher Hicks III, president and CEO of the National Museum for African American Music in a statement provided to The Associated Press. NMAAM has collected some artifacts which will be on display in this gallery, each of which will help highlight these aspects of his contributions to African American music.
