OutKast released a rail called “Rosa Parks” which, although unconnected inwards plain of report affair amongst Ms Parks contains the describe “Ah, ha, hush that fuss. Everybody motion to the dorsum of the bus”.

Presumably this isn’t a purpose that she would license in addition to thence she’s non losing out inwards that way, though the IPKat notes that inwards this instance Parks had previously been involved amongst (a rather different) record.
