A long relationship between one of Americas most liberal colleges and 132-year-old family-owned Gibson's is in tatters amid student allegations of racial profiling. The bakery filed a lawsuit last month accusing the college and a top dean of slandering Gibson's as a racist establishment and taking steps to destroy the family's livelihood. | (AP Photo/Dake Kang)
