Warren Buffett's son buys Rosa Parks archive (1442 hits)


Hundreds of items that belonged to civil rights icon Rosa Parks that have been sitting unseen for years in two warehouses — in Detroit and New York City — have been sold to a foundation run by the son of billionaire investment guru Warren Buffett, the younger Buffett said Thursday.

Howard Buffett said his foundation will make sure that the items, which include Parks’ Presidential Medal of Freedom, will be put on public display because they belong to all Americans.
