One of the biggest ways he helped African Americans was by breaking the racial barrier in music. His video "Thriller" was the first video by an African-American to ever air on MTV. Also, before Michael Jackson came out, all African-American artist were classified as "R&B" and all caucasians were classified as pop and rock.
