Jackson Family Patriarch Decries Media Image

GARY, Ind.(NNPA) – The father of the “King of Pop” believes his legacy in shepherding the rise of the world’s most successful music family is being distorted, maligned in a concerted effort to rewrite history.

Instead of focusing on his success as a father, businessman or philanthropist, Joseph “Joe” Jackson says the U.S. media is on a campaign to discredit him and distort the impact a “Black family” from Gary, Indiana, has had on world (entertainment) history.
