I believe it was for defamation of character or use of character without permission. She was not actually involved in the suit since she had suffered dimentia since 2002 and the suit was filed after it's onset, so it was filed on her behalf. I don't think she was even aware of it.
Either way, "An April 2005 settlement ended the 1999 lawsuit against OutKast. The amount of the settlement was not disclosed. Under the terms of the settlement, Parks was to receive money to be used for her care and to pay bills.
As part of the settlement, Sony BMG, OutKast, Arista Records, LaFace Records, and the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute will become partners in developing educational programs for youths that emphasize the role Parks played "in making America a better place for all races," according to a statement from Archer's law office."

well this is a sad day, since she was one of the most important and famous people in the civil rights movement; it sounds like she lived a full life though (i would have thought so).

I think he got the seat along time ago while she was being arrested. But I don't remember the story too well.
