Brooklyn borough president Marty Markowitz will present a proclamation declaring August 29 Michael Jackson Day in Brooklyn. Rev. Al Sharpton will supply the prayers and DJ Spinna will in charge of the music.
Thousands are expected to crowd the Nethermead Meadow on Saturday to celebrate the life of Michael Jackson on what would have been his 51st birthday. The party was moved to the larger Prospect Park when organizers realized that the crowd would exceed what they first anticipated.
The event will be free and will be from noon to 5:00, rain or shine.
Organized by Spike Lee, who filmed Michael in Brazil for the "They Don't Care About Us" short film, said of the party "It's going to just be how we do it, Brooklyn style, I'll leave it at that. It's going to be a joyous, festive, celebratory party."
Police Department spokesperson, Paul J. Browne, said that while the police do not have a precise estimate of how many people to expect, they suggested the move from Fort Greene Park to Prospect Park. "It seemed reasonable to anticipate over 2,000, and that it would be more prudent to have a larger venue as a result," he said.
City Councilwoman Letitia James of Brooklyn is also scheduled to speak. Recently, Councilwoman James remarked to a reporter that the Hoyt-Schermerhorn subway station should be renamed or co-named after Michael, sparking much debate. The short film, "Bad," was filmed by Martin Scorsese at the station.
Ms. James said on Thursday that she simply advocated having a plaque placed at the station in honor of the singer, not actually having the station renamed. “I have worked on a lot of issues — education, affordable housing, crime,” she said. “I’ve never received more e-mails than I did as a result of this recommendation.”
Spokesperson for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Jeremy Soffin, said that New Youk City Transit prohibits plaques and memorials from being placed in stations. "Regarding naming rights, we are in the process of developing guidelines and protocols to pursue appropriate sponsorship opportunities, but we are not considering naming for memorial purposes."
纽约brooklyn地区长官Marty Markowitz将宣布每年的8月29日为Brooklyn的Michael Jackson日。美国浸济会著名牧师兼民权领袖Al Sharpton将会引导祈愿者。DJ Spinna负责音乐。
预计上千人将聚集在位于Brooklyn Prospect公园的Nethermead草坪广场来庆祝Michael Jackson的51岁冥寿。由于主办方意识到参与人数将超过原有预期，活动被挪至较大的Prospect举行。活动从中午持续到下午5点，风雨无阻。
活动的组织者之一，Michael Jackson音乐录影 “they don’t care about us”的导演Spike lee说此次生日派对“ 参与者自由发挥，Brooklyn风格，没有指挥。这将会是一次充满欢快喜庆的庆生。”
警方发言人说Paul J Browne说尽管目前对参与人数没有准确地估计，不过从活动由Fort Greene公园迁至Greene 公园推测，将有超过2000人参加， “也许最后发现还应该选择一个更大的活动场地”
Brooklyn的女议员Letitia James也被安排发言。近日，Letitia James向记者透露Hoyt-Schermerhorn地铁站（Bad 音乐录影拍摄地点）更名为Michael Jackson -Hoyt-Schermerhorn（？）引发了不小争议。
James议员周四表示她只是想在Hoyt-Schermerhorn地铁站树立一个Michael Jackson的铭牌，并不是要更改站名。她说，“我筹划过各个领域的地区事宜-包括教育，房地产和罪案，从来没有仅仅因为一个提议，收到过如此之多的邮件.”
大都会交通运营公司的发言人Jeremy Soffin说纽约城市交通法禁止在交通站放置纪念铭牌。“根据命名权利，我们正在审核一些指导协议以便获得更多的经济资助（把出资人的名字标在他们资助的建设的公共设施上），但是我们不会考虑出于纪念目的的铭牌。” |
