I think this is absolutely fantastic and I wish I knew how to get an invitation or ticket to attend. All MJJ fans and friends need to attend to fill the event and facility to capacity.

I’m hoping the contents of this convention will be shared with the public. I would be very interested in reading about it.

PLEASE send information regarding the content to me. I am very interested. I have 2 questions:

1) I would like to purchase some of Mr. Jackson’s video’s without going through Amazon or Barnes & Noble. I would like to purchase them in a manner that quarantees the estate gets a majority of the money instead of going through one of the recording companies. Is their a way I can do that? I went to Bravado and all they have listed is cd’s.
2) What is happening with the homicide investigation? How do Black publisheers of newspapers and magazines keep his case in law enforcements faces??? I e-mail people…and hope someone hears my words.
3)Madonna made one of the most HONEST comments about Michael….he was abandoned by many either through silence or negative comments..I really liked what she said. She took some responsibility for what she may have been able to do to relieve some of the strain he was under for so many years. So now what do we do for his children? How can we honor him, express our love for him, show our respect for him by serving them? Every tensy bit helps.
Blessings to you all.

I want to buy a dvd of every live performance from every tour he ever did and every tv performance (Superbowl, 10th Anniversary MTV, Grammy Awards etc) Michael Jackson did but they are not available. I have all the ones you can buy from amazon. Please do not let his performances disappear. It is all we have left of him. I really want “Another Part of Me” music video that is also not available anywhere.

Atty. McMillan, I wanted to get this idea/comment to you before the event this weekend. One of the articles I’ve read since Mr. Jackson’s death stated he was interested in developing/building a family library. I thought that was such a great idea because it could house not only all of his music and videos and other idems, but the same types of books he enjoyed reading and even some that he may have been collecting to be used for a project like this. If it’s a library/family resource center, it could also have areas designated for small venue concerts, a coffee house type place and a small auditorium for other presentations. Three of the most enjoyable concerts I attended as a young woman in Washington D.C. took place between a night club on Georgia Avenue near Howard Univer. called
Eddie Murphy’s and the others were at Wolf Trap Park in Va where I saw War. The stage at Wolf trap is in the center of the room and it rotates while the artists are performing. It only holds about 2,000 and creates a great atmosphere for getting feedback while the artists are performing.

Anyway, whatever is done, please, please make sure it is something that HE wanted to do, that reflects HIS personality, and will in the long run benefit HIS children. Please, please keep it pure…please.
