The two black men arrested in a Philadelphia Starbucks last month have reached a symbolic settlement of $1 each with the city and a promise from local officials to set up a $200,000 young entrepreneur program.
“I am pleased to have resolved the potential claims against the city in this productive manner,” Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney (D) said in outlining the agreement with the men's lawyer, The Associated Press reports.
“This was an incident that evoked a lot of pain in our city and put us under a national spotlight for unwanted reasons.”
