Large crowds of people are gathering in Chicago to attend a public memorial for actor and comedian Bernie Mac.
Actor Samuel L. Jackson and Mayor Richard Daley are among the speakers expected to pay tribute to Mac at the large House of Hope church on the city’s South Side.
Also expected to speak at the Saturday afternoon gathering are Mac’s co-stars from the documentary “The Original Kings of Comedy” — Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley and Cedric The Entertainer.
