Here is a 2-day symposium on Mike conducted by the New York Public Library Schomburg Center on 4-5 June 2010. The title is After the Dance: Conversations on Michael Jackson's Black America. It has personal anecdotes and insights from people who have worked with Mike, including his "Twilight" style of intimacy.
