OutKast settle Rosa Parks wrangle

Hip hop duo OutKast and US civil rights activist Rosa Parks have settled a long-running legal wrangle over the use of her name as a song title.

The award-winning act and record company Sony BMG have not admitted any wrongdoing, but have agreed to help educate young people about her work.

Ms Parks, 92, refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white man in 1950s Alabama, sparking a boycott.

OutKast and other artists are to record a tribute CD to the civil rights icon.
