Montgomery apologizes to Rosa Parks

MONTGOMERY, Ala. --The City Coucil has a message for late civil rights icon Rosa Parks and other blacks who were mistreated in Montgomery during the 1950s: We're sorry.

The majority-white council voted unanimously Tuesday to make a formal apology to Parks, who died in October, and four women who filed a federal lawsuit that resulted in court orders mandating the desegregation of city buses.

The council's resolution also apologized to "all others who suffered the same indignities" as Parks.
