Michael Jackson’s children at an amusement park in Illinois

Before the start of Michael Jackson’s four-day birthday celebration in his hometown of Gary, his children went to Six Flags in Gurnee, Illinois. They had left home three days earlier for Chicago, the largest city in the state, located about 40 kilometers from Gary. T.J. Jackson, their cousin and new guardian, accompanied them on this visit. A photo of them was published by news media, showing them alongside several members of the Jackson family who live in Gary. Source: eMJey.com / Chicago Tribune
