for all of us, it is apparent that like our father and mother, michael's life and work was inspired by the love of godfort to bring the world together in true sister and brotherhood. michael was such a one. [applause] he epitomized the words of my father, that an individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns, çto be broader concerns of humanity. michael was always concerned with humanity. i want the world to know, that despite being involved in accusations and persecutions, as a humanitarian, he thought it not robbery to concern himself with one of this world of other humanitarian to, our mother during her illness, just three months before her death. in october 2005, i was with one michael called her all the way from the middle east. she could not speak because of a debilitating stroke, but she listened as he said to her that he had been praying on his knees every day for her. to him, she was america's true loyalty. he wanted her to know this music was being played in the room because of its healing affects. my only wish is that he could

for all of us, it is apparent that like our father and mother, martin and coretta king, michael's life and work was inspired by the love of godccusations and persecutions, as a humanitarian, he thought it not robbery to concern himself with one of this world's other greatest humanitarians, our mother during her illness, just three months before her death. in october, 2005, i was with mom when michael called her all the way from the middle east. although she couldn't speak because of a debilitating stroke, she listened as he said to her that he had been praying on his knees every day for her. that to him she was america's true royalty and he wanted her to know that if music was being played in her room, because of its healing effect. my only wish is that he could have seen the glow on her face. if faces could smile, as we know they do, that day, michael jackson, made our mother's face smile in spite of her condition. what an unforgettable moment.

'what angela?' 'he told me he loved me.' and the two of them had a good laugh and i think malachy sank through the floor. so you had to be careful about sa--telling people you loved them. c-span: what's this? >> guest: oh, god. yeah, that's the mongrie graveyard where we took my mother's ashes to be sprin
