Following an incident earlier this year at a Philadelphia Starbucks that saw two black men arrested while waiting for a friend, Starbucks announced company-wide racial bias training that will shut down over 8000 stores across the country for half a day next week. Now, details about what those workshops will look like are starting to pop up in a preview the company offered up to reporters, including the fact that rapper Common is set to appear in a video message during the training, along with similar videos from Starbucks execs. It’s not known yet what Common’s video will consist of.
