Rosa Parks died today in Detroit, at the age of 92. Read more about the seamstress and NAACP secretary from Montgomery, Alabama, who challenged municipal bus laws in 1955, sparking the Montgomery Bus Boycott–here in Wikipedia. While the mythology holds that Parks refused to sit in the back of the bus, in fact she was sitting in the “colored” section of a full bus and refused to give that seat up for a white man. On an odd sidenote, Park’s lawyer sued Outkast in 1999 for using her name in the song Aquemini. Parks’s niece insisted the lawsuit had nothing to do with Parks herself, but was rather the brainchild of the attorney, who wanted to make money off the civil rights icon. Wikipedia reports that “in the settlement agreement, OutKast and their producers and record labels agreed to work with the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development in creating educational programs on the life of Rosa Parks.”
