Little ceasars pizza paid rosa parks rent

[cometcomma]

Mike Ilitch was known for being the founder of Little Caesars and owner of the Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Tigers, but he quietly made a difference in the life of civil rights icon Rosa Parks.

Ilitch died last week at age 87, and in several articles eulogizing him, it was noted that he paid Parks' rent so she could move to a safer neighborhood. Parks, a native of Alabama, moved to Detroit not long after she famously refused to get up from her seat on a bus in 1955. In 1994, she was robbed and assaulted in her central Detroit home, and when Ilitch read an account of the crime, he notified mutual friends and let them know he was going to cover her rent for as long as necessary.

Parks, then 81, moved to a safe apartment building, where she lived until her death in 2005. Their friend, Judge Damon Keith, said Ilitch was always doing kind things for others. "It's important that people know what Mr. Mike Ilitch did for Ms. Rosa Parks because it's symbolic of what he has always done for the people of our city," he told The Sports Business Daily in 2014.

Muh Rent.


Why did she has to move from being around other blacks, to be around whites?

Rosa Parks was not a simple seamstress whose lonely act of defiance in 1955 sparked the Civil Rights Movement. In fact, she was a trained Communist Party (CPUSA) activist.

Her refusal to move to the back of the bus wasn't a spontaneous gesture, but a provocation organized by her longtime employer, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

Off topic but this reminded me of this.
I came into possession of some old documents in a very old wooden box that came from my grandmothers attic.
Immigration papers from the 1880's, social security stuff, military stuff. All important documents from my maternal great grand parents on my grandfathers side(from Germany) and their children. Most all the papers were perfect condition. It was like a time capsule.
Really interesting stuff.
The most recent paper was from 1951. Seems my great grandmother who was a widow by then had her rent go up 10.00 a month, serious money in 51.
She wrote a hand written letter to I guess the housing authority of the time stating she supplies the heat for her 1st floor railroad apartment in Newark NJ and she cant afford an increase.
Then in the box I found a response to her appeal. They made a decision and allowed her rent to increase by 5.00 instead of 10.00 and I guess sent her back her letter.
I told my only surviving Aunt who since has passed away about it and she remembered that, she was about 12 at the time. She said her grandmother would sit in the window during the day and everybody who passed by would say hi to her. Newark was a really great city back then.
She told me my grandfather paid the extra 5.00 per month until his mother, my great grandmother, passed away a few years later.
I sent the box to my aunt so it would stay in the family.

My grandmother and one of my aunts recently had it out with one of my other aunts and my dad over a life insurance policy that my great-grandparents took out on my grandfather back in 1932. It's one of those fixed-rate policies that allows you to add people to it and my grandparents added my dad and all of his siblings over the years. I don't know any of the details; why they were fighting over it, how much the premiums are, how much the payouts are, or anything like that, but those fucking people have stopped speaking to each other over it. They really need to kiss and make up because they're too old for that kind of shit.

Items like that are family gold and very interesting. I have material when my dad bought 2 plots at a cemetery in 1962 for 1000 dollars.

Oh I know about that stuff. Insane what a little money can do. Shows some true colors.
Try to make this brief.
Grandmother maternal had 5 sisters and a younger half brother. I only saw him twice in my life.
Well he died , left his house to his 5 sisters, only when he died 2 of his sisters were already gone including my grandmother so her part went to my mother...long story shorter by time he died the money from the house was trickled all over the family.
So my one great aunt became exectutor. After a year or so the house would not sell and her other 2 sisters were all over her.
They actually took her to court. 2 old women who were set for life. The night before the court my poor aunt died in her sleep. She was totally healthy before that. A lot of us think of it as they killed her. Her daughter became exectutor, still couldnt sell the house. Finally it sold for cheap because it was giving her a nervous breakdown.
It came down to my father who was to recieve my mothers share which was maybe 10% at best having to sign off.
But he couldnt because he was dying. Suddenly all these relatives started calling me. I tried to be nice at first then went off on the last one who called but i got it straightened out and they got there damn money.
Anyway, I wound up getting 300 dollars and change, my mothers original share. I figure the 2 sisters maybe got 3 or 4 thousand each, hope they enjoyed it. Lawyers and back taxes took the rest.

After my grandfather died in 85 he was worth about a half mil plus a nice pension. Not bad for a heavy equipment operator, but he was smart and frugal.
Left my grandmother comfortable, only she didnt know how to even write a check.
I aunt who I loved and always seemed to live beyond her means took over the finances.
20 years later after my aunt died my other aunt was took charge.
Almost no money left. Turns out my deceased aunt had helped herself to nearly 300K over the years.
Then an uncle who thought he was dying walked into the bank and helped himself to 50K, illegally, and gave it to his wife.
I told my mother many years before she should have took charge but she wouldnt.

Anyway I know all about that family greed shit. I have just a few cousins I even talk to now, the rest are in the past.

lotta money back then. like 20k today.

Saw it on my mom's side first; my grandfather died, left it all to my grandmother, she remarried a fellow that ended up trying to take 400 acres from my mom and her three siblings when she died. That property is still tied up in probate, and probably will be for the next several years, my dad is keeping the taxes current, probably a smart move, but I don't know. Saw it on my dad's side, even worse, my grandfather was a business owner, when he passed away my grandmother didn't want to continue to pay property taxes on their vast assets so she divided out the property between my dad and his three siblings, but kept the liquid assets, she's still alive and now the aunt's are jockeying for whatever's left, which was quite a windfall. I told my wife, fuck all that shit, we will earn our own damn money because both of her parents have already passed and she had a shit storm of her own to deal with battling various legitimate heirs, and hanger's on that thought they were entitled. It's a shame there's not a better way to deal with willed estates.

I have an issue where my brother is to share a trust and even before either parent died he said about the trust well Justin (his son) gets it all after you die. My parents had to remind him I was an equal beneficiary. When I was writing my trust he said leave it for his son and no one else. I have no children or wife. I included his son and others which irritated my brother. I said you fill out your will your way and leave me to do my own. My brother and others threw away my copy of my moms trust. Could be an interesting thing later on as my brother my clom on to the money as executor of the trust. In my state a trust is the best and only way to pass title to a house unless you go the proBate method.

thank you rosa parks for this interesting legal discussion

 

[meesterperfect]

yeah. If you have a legitimate right to something of course you have to follow through if its significant.
But people squabbling over chump change is just stupid.

But let our examples be a message to all. Gotta make sure everything is legal up and down frontways and sideways beforehand no matter how tight you think your family is. It only takes one to get greedy then it turns into a whole different fiasco.

TOTALLY AGREE
I have read of situations where 3 siblings have children and the grandparents give money to the grandkids all equally and after death a grandkid is left out as they were not born yet. He was born after the death of his grandfather.

One grandparent say the grandfather has passed and the trust set up has been partially irrevocable (grandfathers side) with the death.
The grandfather who is dead and never met the grandchild is expected to leave assets to a person he never met. And the siblings of the dead grandfather argue it out.

I was listening to a show on the radio where a wife of a divorcee got nothing from the bank accounts of the husband as did not update his beneficiary forms.

The money went to his ex-wife who he hated. This must be common as people are sloppy about wills and beneficiary statements.

Perhaps an attorney could weigh in on that.

As of January 1st 2019, that shit is still tied up in probate, haven't heard dick about it since then. Wonder if that offer of services above is still good, somehow I seriously doubt it. :dunno: :rofl:

It will be over once the lawyers and the court finish gnawing at the bones. When the money is gone.
