Description
Luther Haynes and his wife, Dorothy Haynes nee Johnson, appeal from the dismissal on the defendants motion for summary judgment of their suit against Nicholas Lemann, the author of a highly praised, best-selling book of social and political history called The Promised Land: The Great Black Migration and How It Changed America (1991), and Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., the books publisher. The plaintiffs claim that the book libels Luther Haynes and invades both plaintiffs right of privacy. Federal jurisdiction is based on diversity, and the common law of Illinois is agreed to govern the substantive issues. The appeal presents difficult issues at the intersection of tort law and freedom of the press.
