McDonald's settles lawsuit with Black franchise owner
CNN
McDonald's has settled a lawsuit filed by a Black franchise owner that alleged the company steered him toward less profitable restaurants in lower-income, predominantly Black neighborhoods because of his race.
Retired Major League Baseball player Herbert Washington filed the civil suit in Ohio in February, as CNN reported at the time.
Washington's allegations were similar to the complaints made by a group of 52 former Black franchise operators, who sued the company over alleged racial discrimination last year.
