A white silk, long-sleeve button-down shirt on a hanger reading “Academy Award Clothes Est. 1950 Los Angeles”. The shirt is being sold together with a white cotton, right-hand forearm brace. The brace has been customized by attaching the laces to three separate metal buckles reading “WHBCO” each with Velcro closures. The brace shows wear consistent with use and extensive makeup residue. These pieces were worn together during Jackson’s performance of the song Black Or White with rock guitarist Dave Navarro, at the Apollo Theater. Jackson performed three songs there on April 24, 2002 for “A Night At The Apollo” a Democratic National Fundraiser which reportedly raised $2.5 million dollars for a national voter registration drive. Jackson was introduced to the stage that night by President Clinton. Jackson gifted the items to the fiancé of a colleague backstage with well wishes for their engagement. This was Jackson’s last public performance in the United States. Categories: Michael Jackson
