Filmmaker Stanley Nelson created The Story of Access, the video shown to all Starbucks employees on the day the store closed for racial sensitivity training.
The film mixes historic footage with a diverse group of African-American people talking about their personal experiences with systemic bias in public accomodations. Via Starbucks:
On May 29, we closed 8,000 Starbucks stores in the United States for four hours—so 175,000 Starbucks partners could come together for a conversation and learning session on racial bias.
