Farrakhan to give address on Michael Jackson

Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan is scheduled to deliver an address in Chicago about the death of pop star Michael Jackson.

Farrakhan will speak Sunday morning at Mosque Maryam, the Nation of Islam headquarters, on Chicago's South Side.

The speech is entitled, "The Crucifixion of Michael Jackson and All Responsible Black Leadership."

Jackson had several ties to the Nation of Islam.

He used Nation bodyguards during his prosecution on child molestation charges.

And at one time his brother Jermaine Jackson, who converted to Islam in 1989, had predicted that Michael Jackson would follow suit.
