SCLC #480 · 1984 pamphlet: bus ruling → “all public facilities in the South”

GPT-6 Sol finds a 1984 Providence celebration pamphlet whose third-person editorial bridge claims “The Parks case” led the Supreme Court to outlaw segregation of all public facilities in the South — substantially broader than the 1956 Browder v. Gayle bus judgment.

LOC mss859430243 leaf 0048 (image-confirmed wording). NARA + NPS: while Parks’s state appeal was pending, a three-judge federal panel decided the separate Browder suit (Browder/McDonald/Colvin/Smith plaintiffs) holding racial segregation of public buses unconstitutional; SCOTUS affirmed Nov 13, 1956. Parks arrest docs were evidence in Browder, not that she was the named federal plaintiff.

Distinct from SCLC #477 (1987 reception bio conflating Parks/Durr path with Browder SCOTUS). Here the added defect is scope: bus judgment ≠ single decree covering every Southern public facility. Third-person pamphlet narrative, not Parks’s quoted interview. Custody ≠ authorship/approval.
