LANSING, Mich.---- Arlan Ettinger will never forget the response he got when he took one of civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks' hats to a meeting at the Apollo Theater in New York.

''It was a fairly plain-looking black hat. And then I said it was Rosa Parks'. And their mouths just opened up without saying a word and tears'' flowed, Ettinger said.

In reading the article, it makes referance to her family fighting over the will. Strange what money can do to a family. It always strikes me as odd that family will fight a will when there is a large amount of money involved. Like they deserve some of the spoils of her labors.
It is surprising how much they think things are worth.
