Michael Jackson fans in New York City and elsewhere are remembering
him on the anniversary of his death.
The King of Pop died a year ago today at age 50.
Harlem’s Apollo Theatre is where a young Jackson and his brothers
won amateur night and today it hosts a commemoration of his life.
The Reverend Al Sharpton is a long-time Jackson family associate
and plans a moment of silence around the time Jackson died.
City officials in Gary, Indiana, say there will be a tribute at the
family’s home there.
Barricades already are set up at Jackson’s Los Angeles-area
cemetery for the huge throng of fans and some of his relatives expected to
arrive today.
Wreaths of flowers and dozens of bouquets, drawings and photos of
Jackson have been placed outside his mausoleum.
