the urban league was connected with this.n 1973, "the new york times" reported that the justice department had filed suit after donald trump and his father refused to rent apartments african americans. it was one of the largest federal cases of its kind at the time. when federal investigator spoke with trump's employees, they said they were instructed to mark rental applications from africa people on the back of the forication with a c colored so they know who they wanted to rent to and who they didn't. the reason the justice department became aware this was work that testing in the urban leak had done to bring that to the attention of the justice department.
