Dick Gregory Supports Michael Jackson with Fast for 40 Days and Asks Friends of Jackson Around World to Join in Daily Prayer for Truth to Prevail

(AFRICAN AMERICAN NEWSWIRE)Los Angeles--Internationally renowned activist, lecturer, and author, Dick Gregory, will begin a 40 day fast and an appeal to friends and fans around the world join in prayer every day at noon for the truth to come out in the Michael Jackson's case.

Gregory, who has known Jackson for many years said, "He's a good man, an I feel he's an innocent man who has been the target of a conspiracy to destroy his career for a long time.

"In my opinion there are people who have a financial interest in bringing Michael down," Gregory said, "and they seem to come out every time Michael has a major album to release."

Gregory, who is in Los Angeles working on various projects, said that he will take any amount of time out from his schedule to support Michael Jackson's fight against the criminal charges against Jackson that were announced by the Santa Barbara District Attorney's office last week.
