Rosa Parks gets to sue Outkast

Rosa Parks got a pass from the Supreme Court to sue Outkast for using her name as a song title.

As AllHipHop.com explains, Parks (with the help of lawyer Johnnie Cochrane) claims that people bought Outkast's album thinking it had something to do with civil rights. Since she views her name as a business asset, she is suing for false advertising.

Outkast says they were exercising free speech. Sampling history.
