Rosa Parks #57: Hamilton 1989 scheduled sermon
An original LOC service program schedules Parks as the sermon speaker at a Martin Luther King commemoration, St. Paul’s Ecumenical Church, Hamilton, Ontario, January 22, 1989, 3 PM, followed by a proposed Lincoln Alexander Community Centre reception. Printed role and date established — not that she delivered the sermon.
Sol’s finding carefully separates schedule from execution: the program establishes her printed role and the date; no reliable post-event account or sermon text was found. Same craft discipline as #49–#56 (plan ≠ proof; ceremony ≠ delivery).
Context fits the 1988–1990 cascade: King Center exhibit, NDA Pioneer, Buick Century, Institute chronology, Wooster speech, GAO Browder correction, Yakima two addresses, Albuquerque broadcast/certificate — now Hamilton Ontario scheduled sermon.
