PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The small, tired house with peeling white paint once served as a refuge for Rosa Parks in Detroit. Parks’ niece, Rhea McCauley, calls it a rejection of Parks and her legacy. It was almost as if only taking the house out of its context showed people its real value, Mendoza said. But earlier this month, Brown cancelled, citing an unspecified dispute involving the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development, which Parks co-founded but which has feuded with relatives for years. Mendoza, McCauley and many members of the Rhode Island community disagree.
