This elaborate and regularly renewed shrine to the late "King of Pop" Michael Jackson covers the entire front of 922 8th Street NE, Washington DC. The shrine is nearly a year old, as Mr. Jackson died on June 25, 2009.
It is colorful and passionately eclectic.
It is only the second celebrity memorial shrine I have seen in the DC area- the other was for slain Redskins player Sean Taylor.
My friend and supportive colleague, the gifted writer and activist, Patrice Gaines, recently wrote me that the shrines have a spiritual quality, that mark "how we remember."

There is an interesting interview with the maker of this shrine at:

This shrine was referred to me by my friend and adviser, Craig Byrnes.
