Mark the birth of the pop music king in Brooklyn style, with a Bed Stuy block party.
Spike Lee, the director of classic Brooklyn films “Do the Right Thing” and “Crooklyn,” not to mention borough brand entrepreneur, is hosting his eighth annual Brooklyn Loves Michael Jackson block party on August 25. The party, which has drawn large crowds in past years, honors the music of Jackson, who was born on August 29, 1958 and passed away in 2009.
