Hot on the heels of the big Michael Jackson “This Is It” movie premiere, Joe Jackson announced that he has plans to build a performing arts center and Jackson family museum in Gary, Indiana.
Above, the Jackson family patriarch is pictured with Johnny Brenden (President/CEO of the Brenden Theatre Corp.), Gary Mayor Rudy Clay and developer Odie Anderson at a press conference inside the Brenden Theatres at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas Wednesday (Oct 28).
Joe Jackson was presented with a $10,000 check to begin work on the project. All of this the same day Michael Jackson’s movie premieres … how convenient!
