About Michael: Family

Michael Joseph Jackson (or Michael Joe, depending upon who you ask) was born August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana (United States). The Jackson family is of African/African-American and Native American (Choctaw and Blackfoot Nations) ancestry. There is also a small amount of "white"/European blood, due to the victimization of African family members during slavery in the American south.
