POST-TRIBUNE STAFF REPORT

GARY -- Michael Jackson's oldest sibling, Rebbie Jackson, will visit Gary next month to promote an upcoming concert, according to a press release.

The three-day visit will begin with a 10 a.m. press conference on June 4 at the Jackson family's Gary home. Afterward, she is scheduled to meet with Mayor Rudy Clay at Gary City Hall.

A statement also says Rebbie Jackson will throw out the first pitch for the RailCats that night. Finally, she will give a commencement address to the graduates of Roosevelt High School.

The second day will be full of private meetings with family, friends, civic leaders and producers of other upcoming Jackson events, according to the press release.

Finally, on June 6, Rebbie Jackson will visit the Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago for a screening of "The Firing Squad," "Swan Song" and other locally produced movies.

Her visit comes two months before a four-day "fanvention" to be held in her brother's honor in Merrillville. His niece, Genevieve Jackson, helped announce the event in March.

Why would she help promote a tribute to someone she referred to as a drug addict?

or the hell with values, it is all about money..?

:smilerolleyes: That's her brother and she wants to support tribute to him. Why must you bring up something that has nothing to do with the original post?

^it has everything to do with the original post. I think it is typical Jackson hypocrisy at play...she has been going around calling MJ an addict in denial...now she gets offered X amount of money to support a ridiculous tribute not even approved by the addict's established estate, and she obliges.

It does not have anything to do with the original post. So you can cut that out. If you want to talk about the tribute itself, go ahead. But do not go off topic.

Thank you.

I'm really wondering if this fanvention thing is something thats really thought out? 'cause from what've seen reported about it, it all just seems like a couple of people throwing together stuff with people that had limited connection to MJ!
