The training is a response to the arrest of two black men at a Philadelphia Starbucks after the manager called police on them. On April 12, the manager of a Starbucks in downtown Philadelphia called police on two black men who were seated inside the store. They had not bought anything, and apparently refused to leave. The police arrested the men for loitering, which was captured in a cell phone video.

The two men, Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson settled with the city of Philadelphia for just $1 each on the condition that officials establish a $200,000 program for young entrepreneurs. They reached an undisclosed financial settlement with Starbucks.

"I've spent the last few days in Philadelphia with my leadership team listening to the community, learning what we did wrong and the steps we need to take to fix it," said Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson in an April press release. "While this is not limited to Starbucks, we're committed to being a part of the solution. Closing our stores for racial bias training is just one step in a journey that requires dedication from every level of our company and partnerships in our local communities."
