Rosa Parks Suit Going Ahead
A lawsuit brought by civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks against a popular rap group has been set for trial.
OutKast's 1998 song "Rosa Parks" is about the entertainment industry and its lyrics do not refer to Parks by name. The chorus of the song goes, "Ah-ha, hush that fuss. Everybody move to the back of the bus."
A jury trial has been set for Jan. 10, but there are still procedural issues to deal with.
