PHILADELPHIA _ Two black men arrested for sitting at a Philadelphia Starbucks without ordering anything settled with the city for a symbolic $1 each Wednesday and a promise from officials to set up a $200,000 program for young entrepreneurs.
The men's lawyer and Mayor Jim Kenney outlined the agreement to The Associated Press.
The arrest of Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson on April 12 sparked national outcry and days of protests in Philadelphia. It also led to an apology from the city's police commissioner.
Nelson and Robinson, 23-year-old entrepreneurs, were sitting in the Starbucks at 18th and Spruce streets waiting for a business associate when the store manager called police.
