The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit plans to open its doors Tuesday to show a broadcast of the public memorial for Michael Jackson in Los Angeles.
The broadcast of the memorial service will shown on a large screen at the museum. There is no admission charge for the gathering in Detroit. Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
A candlelight vigil to remember Jackson's life and legacy was held last weekend at the original home of Motown Records in Detroit. The historic Hitsville USA building was the launching pad for the late pop superstar's career.
People have visited Hitsville following Jackson's death to pay their respects to the international icon.
