Friday Night Jackson Memorial In Gary

June 18, 2010 Updated Jul 10, 2009 at 10:07 AM EST GARY, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - The reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are among those expected to be at a memorial service for Michael Jackson Friday night in the pop star's hometown of Gary. During the service a stone tablet will be unveiled. The 5,000 pound eight foot tall stone tablet was designed and created by a company in Richmond, Indiana, to celebrate the pop star's life. The monument took 48 hours to complete, from design to finish, and would have cost $25,000, but was donated by the company.
