Legacy Lost??

I was saddened to read about the status of Rosa Parks' Estate. Apparently, there has been litigation over her estate since her death in October,2005 at the age of 92.0 The cash value paled the "value" of her memorabilia. Often referred to as the Mother of the Civil Rights Moment" her medals, paper and even clothing carries such significant historical importance which can equate to an invaluable collection. However, this all can be clearly distorted in any protracted litigation or dispute.
What does this do to a legacy of strength, perserverance, faith in the face of adversity? It is not only for me and those who lived during her lifetime; but, for the younger generations and those not yet born that the physical representation of her legacy must be protected. It serves to educate and inspire those exposed to the memory of an historical ICON.
