Michael Jackson Remembered In Hometown

Weeks after his death, a steady stream of fans continues to visit Gary, Indiana where pop star Michael Jackson was born. Even though Jackson visited only once after becoming a star, people in Gary, an economically depressed city, feel a strong bond with the star and his family. On Friday, more than six thousand fans gathered in Gary for a memorial service to the King of Pop. And as VOA's Kane Farabaugh reports, plans are underway to build a museum and memorial to the late singer.

I visited the home of the Jacksons yesterday, it was a very emotional experience, something I wanted to do being a fan of Michael and the Jackson 5. The town is almost abandoned unfortunately. RIP Michael.
