Family members object to Rosa Parks' will

DETROIT (AP) -- A dozen nieces and nephews of civil rights icon Rosa Parks have filed an objection to her will in hopes of gaining control of the use of her name and image. The family members, who have been feuding for years with the people Parks appointed to handle her affairs, filed the legal challenge Friday.
"We still are very open to talk settlement in this case, if for no other reason than both sides have a deep respect for Ms. Parks," Frederick Toca Jr., an attorney for the family members, said Monday. A pretrial conference is set for May 9 before a probate judge.
