Michael Jackson added three personal items to the $125,000 he has already given the Motown Museum in Detroit: a trademark glove, a hat and a uniform he wore when he was 13 and performing with the Jackson Five. “I’m very happy and proud to be back to the soil from which I came,” Jackson told Motown Records founder Berry Gordy Jr. on Sunday. “Berry Gordy is the man that made it all possible for me. I want to say thank you, Berry, and I love you.” Replied Gordy, who founded Motown Records in 1959: “Michael Jackson knows success in life is not merely confined to fame and fortune and material gains, but it’s also found in a continual awareness of our roots, his roots.”
