INDIANA---The King of Pop, Michael Joseph Jackson was born 54 years ago on August 29, 1958 in the state of Indiana, also known as the "Hoosier" state. Following Jackson's death on June 25, 2009, NYC-based photographer David LaChapelle created a series of religious-themed portraits as a memorial to Jackson whose genius and humanitarian impact were felt throughout his home state of Indiana, but also around the world. LaChapelle's photograph"American Jesus" is based on the traditional scene of the Virgin Mary cradling the body of Christ.
