Parks's lawyers could proceed with the suit. OutKast was eventually dropped as a defendant, but a separate suit was filed in August 2004 against the record companies with which OutKast is affiliated and against stores that sold OutKast's records; this suit asked for $5 billion in damages. However, Parks's family urged an end to the cases, claiming that Parks's caretakers and lawyers were using Parks's name and fame for their own ends. In October 2004, a federal judge took the issue seriously enough to appoint former Detroit mayor Dennis Archer as a guardian ad litem for Parks.
Parks received numerous awards, including an honorary degree from Shaw College in Detroit, the 1979 NAACP Spingarn Medal, and an annual Freedom Award presented in her

    Dred Scott Case

    Slavery was a big issue in the 1800’s. While the United States was split in two between the North and the South, there were states and territories that were designated for slaves and states and territories that were for slaves that wanted freedom. If a slave was to actually make it into one of these “free” states, they were basically considered free unless they were captured or forced back to the slave owner they belonged to. However, while the slaves who made it to these distinct areas were “free”, there were instances where that was simply not the case. One instance that is more prevalent than the others was the case of Dred Scott.…
