Memorial


am live-tweeting the Michael Jackson Memorial as it is being broadcast live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Tweets will be in reverse order, with updates at the top of the article as they are posted. Refresh screen for updates:



*This concludes the memorial service for Michael Jackson at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
*"We pray this moment will not be forgotten. . .as a reminder that we, too, can make a change."
*"Even know the King of Pop must bow his knee to the King of Kings."
*"Let us stop judging people by the color of their skin and the accent of their voice." (prayer)
*Closing prayer, pastor asks everyone to join hands.
*"My prayer is that this is more than a memorial, but a remembrance of what he means to us."
*"We should all look at the man, or the woman, in the mirror. . .and make that change, starting today."
*Pastor Lucious Smith, who opened the service, is making closing remarks.
*Music to "Man in the Mirror" (without MJ vocals) being played as casket exits with pallbearers.
