Jackson Legacy News - Written By: Lyn Fears - April, 29, 2011

The Jackson Family Foundation, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & Museum and the City of Gary, Indiana plan an Annual 3-Day joint industry collaboration for June 24, 25 & 26 in 2011 featuring multiple events, VIP receptions, live concert performances and "Candle Light Vigils" in honor of the 2nd Anniversary of Michael Jackson's unexpected and tragic passing.

Event planners are inviting the entire "Michael Jackson Global Fan Base" to participate by coming to Gary, Indiana for multiple programming to include, Michael Jackson Candle Light Vigils and to visit the historic 2300 Jackson Street Home, (a Global Jackson Fans Landmark Mecca") and/or come to Cleveland to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & Museum's Annual "Rock & Soul Festival & Michael Jackson Tribute" produced in association with the Jackson Family Foundation. Global Web-Casts, Streaming Video and Simulcast Broadcast Video, Event News Pick-ups and Web Media Platforms will allow for International Michael Jackson Global fan-base interactive participation and accessibility throughout all three days of programming.

Jackson Family Foundation President & Co-Founder, Simon Sahouri established plans for a Gary, Indiana 2nd Annual "Legacy of the Legends, Michael Jackson June 25th Tribute" back in December of 2010 in collaboration with New Ways Entertainment, Inc., President & Event Coordinator, Ava Hall, of Atlanta, Georgia.

Akron, Ohio Marketing Director, Art Director & Jackson Family Foundation Corporate Advisor, Don Thornton contacted the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & Museum Community Relations Director, Ruthie Brown and proposed an Indiana/Ohio Regional Michael Jackson Tribute in partnership with the Jackson Family Foundation. Miss Brown and Miss Hall worked out the collaborative details which led to a signed agreement April 8, 2011 to co-develop an Official Michael Jackson 2nd Annual "Legacy Tribute" in association with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Rock & Soul Festival's 2nd Annual "Michael Jackson" Tribute.

This Michael Jackson Tribute and Memorial Celebration is billed as a "Three Days, Two Cities, One Legend" star-studded "Michael Jackson Celebration" in honor of the beloved "King of Pop". Event programmers from Atlanta, Georgia, Las Vegas, Nevada, Cleveland / Akron, Ohio and Gary, Indiana are all planning a slew of affiliated "Michael Jackson Theme" celebrations, presentations, live concerts, fashion galas, art exhibits, after-parties and "Web Cast" events in hopes of making this Midwest Michael Jackson Tribute an Annual Multi-City Regional Festival that will attract tens-of-thousands of tourists, global media, celebrities, sponsors and participants from all over the world each year. Various Jackson family members and other surprise guests are expected to attend both the Gary, Indiana "Legacy of the Legend Festival" and the Cleveland, Ohio Rock Hall "Rock & Soul Festival" events.

This partnership with the Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame "Rock & Soul Festival", the Annual Gary, Indiana, “Legacy of the Legend Benefit Concert” and “2300 Jackson Street Festival” will also include Video & Film Work productions and pick-ups coordinated by Mr. Sahouri & Mr. Thornton with plans to negotiate and package a post-event television broadcast quality documentary capturing the Gary, Indiana and Cleveland, Ohio "MJ Fan Base" energy while reliving the MJ magic, the music, the heartfelt emotions, sustained joy, deep sadness and great wonder of Michael Jackson as fans reflect on the memories of the "Legacy of the Legend".

Mr. Thornton's goal as the Ohio Film Project Producer is to package a colorful and entertaining overall consensus of the Jackson fan base's "Current State of Mind" now, going on two years, minus the Earth presence of the brilliant "King of Pop". Mr. Thornton also wants to spotlight Michael's Global Fan Base's feelings and thoughts by sharing their vision of Michael Jackson's legendary career and their various reactions to short and long-term commemorative plans for any “Past, Present and Future” tributes to Michael.

Mr. Sahouri and Mr. Thornton hope to help positively sustain Michael's historic memory and also explore joint collaborative ways on how society can go about continuing on with Michael's great philanthropic charitable mission. The documentary will explore ways on which to respectfully honor and preserve Mr. Jackson's irrepressible spirit, his un-categorical artistic genius and his unparalleled performance and entertainment legacy.
