MANY A DAY HAS PASSED, THE NIGHT HAS GONE BY: And so, sadly, has the life of Rosa Parks. Her death comes less than six months after she settled her long-standing dispute with OutKast over their song "Rosa Parks." Under the settlement, OutKast (and other artists) will perform on what will be a sadly timely tribute CD.
Addendum: I realized I forgot out the best tribute to Parks I can think of--Sarah Vowell's glorious essay "Rosa Parks, C'est Moi" from The Partly Cloudy Patriot. You can listen to her read it at the end of this episode of "This American Life."
