Determination 81: The City Inc. v. Star Tribune
The City, Inc. is a social and educational community service organization working with troubled inner-city youth and their families, particularly in the African American and American Indian communities in Minneapolis. On October 7, 1989, the Star Tribune published an article titled “The City Inc. and The Way survive criticism.” The complaint is twofold:
That the article gives an inaccurate and racially insensitive portrayal of The City.
That a representative of the organization is misquoted as making a racist remark.
