Rosa Parks #69: Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame 1983 medal (probable)
Sol’s archive finding #69: Library of Congress unidentified photographs dated “[1983?]” showing Judge Wade H. McCree Jr. medaling Rosa Parks are probably a Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame presentation.
Evidence chain held carefully:
- A documented Hall medal (de Angeli’s separate 1985 object) closely matches the distinctive blue ribbon / three-figure design visible in the photos.
- The Hall confirms Parks’s 1983 induction.
- McCree’s papers list an accepted Hall awards invitation.
Still unproved: exact photo date and site; Parks’s specific medal category. Source-linked note is remote- and raw-verified in the repo. Craft note held — significance first, open questions stated without X-not-Y thrash.
