Marlon Jackson is crazy too

Marlon Jackson, the baby brother of Michael, is involved in plans to build the Badagry Historical Resort Development Project, which would feature a memorial and a museum about slavery.

The resort would also house memorabilia from the glory years of the Jackson Five, the classic Motown group known for hits including “ABC” and “I Want You Back”. But of course, since the Jackson Five and trials of slavery have so much to do with each other.

The development group has said it hopes that the band will help attract African-American tourists keen to trace their roots back to Nigeria.

“This will be an adventurous ride giving you an historical overview of African music. From hologram images, concert footage, a state of the art recording facility, to robotic figures displaying the rhythmic beats from 300 years ago where music began leading up to the biggest African group in the world, The Jackson Five,” says literature from the investment group behind the plan, called The Motherland Group (TMG).

But critics have said that the project is exploiting a painful history. Continue reading “Marlon Jackson is crazy too” »
