March 9, 2009 | James Hicks
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.
