Jackson 5 perform at the War Memorial Auditorium in Rochester, New York

The Jackson 5 play the War Memorial Auditorium in Rochester, New York. In a difficult patch of weeks, three concerts in Texas are cancelled after the Southern Christian Leadership Council’s Operation Breadbasket publicly complains that Motown should have hired a Black promoter to handle the dates. Around the same time the Jacksons move into their parents’ new family home in Encino, California — an estate that would remain Michael’s base for the next two decades.
