New York, May 29 (RHC)-- Starbucks closed more than 8,000 stores across the United States on Tuesday for anti-racial bias training. The training comes after two Black men were arrested for being inside a Philadelphia Starbucks last month, sparking widespread protests and threats of a boycott.
The two men settled a lawsuit earlier this month with the coffee chain and the city. Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson will receive a symbolic settlement of one dollar each from Philadelphia, along with a promise from Starbucks to set up a $200,000 program for young entrepreneurs.
Earlier this month, Starbucks also announced a new policy that people could use Starbucks bathrooms and sit in its cafes without making a purchase.
