Two men who arrested in Starbucks have reached settlements with the US coffee chain and the city of Philadelphia, which will endow a fund of $200,000 to help young entrepreneurs.
Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson were arrested in Philadelphia on April 12, sparking international outrage and protests at Starbucks outlets for racial discrimination.
Nelson and Robinson have agreed not to sue the city, in exchange for $1 each and the city’s agreement to grant $200,000 to start a program for public high school students who want to become entrepreneurs.
