Has this been mentioned? Little Cesar's Pizza-Rosa Parks

[drcoastline]

(CNN) —

Those who knew Mike Ilitch, the Little Caesars founder and Detroit Tigers owner who died last Friday, have spent the past few days fondly remembering his impact on friends, on Detroit residents, and on the sports community.

Ilitch also had an impact on the daily life of one of the most iconic figures from the civil rights movement, Rosa Parks.

Shortly after her famed defiance of segregation sparked the Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott, Parks moved to Detroit and became an important presence in the city for years afterward.

In 1994, Parks was robbed and assaulted in her home at the age of 81.

Keith, himself an important legal figure in the civil rights movement, worked to find Parks a new, safer apartment at the Riverfront Apartments in Detroit, according to the Sports Business Daily.

Ilitch read the story in the newspaper and called Keith, offering to pay for Parks’ housing indefinitely. With no fanfare, Ilitch continued paying for the apartment until Parks died in 2005, Keith said.

Damon Keith, Federal judge.

Rosa Parks was the US version of our Viola Desmond who refused to sit in the "Colored section" of a movie theatre and was arrested. Viola is now gracing our $10 bills.

Gotta love a country where every city has a Terry Fox monument.

What! Glad to hear there are others out there! They don’t cheat you on the toppings. Extend them all the way to the edge.

He also saved the Detroit red Wings and made them into a very good team. The team was dead when he bought it. He had to give away a new car at every home game to draw fans.

I'm sure he made a ton of money, but it was not a guaranteed success when he bought in.

I used to love LC back in the 80s/90s when they were around. I remember when they started back up several years back. Unfortunately, I haven't been to one since they came back.
