In 1984, Jackson was approached to donate "Beat It" as backing music for a commercial on drunk driving.[46] Jackson agreed and it was arranged for the singer to be awarded with an honor from the President of the United States, Ronald Reagan.[46] Prior to collecting the award, President Reagan sent Jackson a telegram, which read:[9]
Your deep faith in God and adherence to traditional values are an inspiration to all of us. You've gained quite a number of fans along the road since "I Want You Back" and Nancy and I are among them. Keep up the good work, Michael. We're very happy for you.
The presentation took place on May 14, 1984, at the White House.[46] Upon reaching the podium, Reagan remarked, "I hope you'll forgive me, but we have quite a few young folks in the White House who all wanted me to give you the same message. They said to tell Michael, "Please give some TLC to the PYTs."[47] A reference to Jackson's Grammy Award-nominated song, "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)". Reagan also stated that Jackson "is proof of what a person can accomplish through a lifestyle free of alcohol or drug abuse. People young and old respect that. And if Americans follow his example, then we can face up to the problem of drinking and driving, and we can, in Michael's words, beat it."[46][47]
In April 1990, Jackson returned to the White House to be recognized as "Artist of the Decade" by President George H. W. Bush.[48] Two years later, on May 1, 1992, President Bush presented Jackson with an award acknowledging him as "a point of light ambassador".[48][49] Jackson received the award in recognition for his efforts in inviting disadvantaged children to his Neverland Ranch.[49] Jackson was the only entertainer to receive the award.[49]

In 1989, Michael Jackson's former elementary school, the Gardner Street Elementary in Los Angeles, CA, designated its school auditorium the "Michael Jackson Auditorium". Mr. Jackson appeared at the ceremony, in which the school children sang his hit song, "We Are the World".[60] In 2003, after accusations of child molestation, the school chose to cover Jackson's name with plywood. The school board stated that the request had come from some parents who "felt more comfortable with it covered".[60] Jackson's spokesperson stated that he wondered "what those parents will say when Mr. Jackson is exonerated".[60] At the end of the trial Jackson was acquitted of all charges.[61] Recently, following petitions and letters to City Council and the Gardner Street Elementary School superintendent and principal, the "Michael Jackson Auditorium" sign has been uncovered. Jackson was named Most Famous Alumnus of Gardner Street Elementary School, in Hollywood, California and the school auditorium was renamed for him in 1989.[62][63]
In a high-profile visit to Africa, in 1992 Jackson visited several countries, among them Gabon and Egypt. In his trip to Côte d'Ivoire, Jackson was crowned "King Sani" by a tribal chief. He then signed official documents formalizing his kingship and sat on a golden throne while presiding over ceremonial dances, a title he held up until his death. Jesse Jackson inherited the title of the High Prince of the Agni people of Côte d'Ivoire from Michael Jackson.[64]
In 2007, Jackson visited the United States Army base south of Tokyo and was commemorated with a letter of appreciation from the Colonel
