Author: Boyd Huppert Updated: 10:30 PM CDT April 1, 2021 MINNEAPOLIS If 38th & Chicago was the flash point of a movement, six blocks away stands an 86-year tender of the flame. The Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder is not just Minnesota’s oldest black-owned newspaper – it’s the state’s longest operating black-owned business.    Publisher Tracey Williams-Dillard stands within sight of the front door, beneath a black and white portrait of the paper’s founder. “This is my grandfather, Cecil Newman,” Tracey says.
