Two black men arrested at Starbucks settle with Philadelphia for $1 each

In addition to providing the symbolic $1 settlement, the city of Philadelphia will donate $200,000 to a program to support young entrepreneurs.
Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson were led out of Starbucks in handcuffs on April 12 after they sat in the cafe without ordering anything as they waited for a business associate to join them for a meeting. Their arrest, captured on video, created an uproar and prompted a personal apology from the Starbucks chief executive. The company will close more than 8,000 stores for an afternoon later this month for “racial-bias education” training.
