When he was a teen-ager in Montgomery, Ala., Joseph M. Beck watched Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. make history boycotting the city's buses. Now, as an intellectual property attorney, Beck is litigating two cases that will decide who profits from the King and Parks legacies. But Beck's work has an ironic twist. In one case he's defending the King family's right to control MLK's speeches; in the other, he's arguing Rosa Parks has no right to prevent her name from being used as the title of a rap song.
