Starbucks' Interview with Dr. Bernard LaFayette Jr.

Today, the company's webpage features an interview with Dr. Bernard LaFayette, a member of Dr King's inner circle. Dr. Bernard discusses Project Pilgrimage, a Seattle-based nonprofit organization that "builds interracial and intergenerational community through civic programs."

Starbucks typically remains open (from 9 to 6 or at least a portion of that timeframe) on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Black Friday, New Years Day, and Thanksgiving. Today, Starbucks operates in over 23,760 locations worldwide. As of April 2017, Howard Schultz serves as the company's CEO.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is celebrated annually on the third January of each year. The federal holiday honors Dr. King, who advocated for equal rights using nonviolent resistance. Ronald Reagan signed MLK Day into law in 1983, but it took a while for the trend to catch on. It wasn't until 2000 that the holiday was observed in all 50 states.

Today, MLK Day has been combined with other holidays that observe the fight for freedom. In Alabama, the state recognizes Robert E. Lee and Martin Luther King's birthday. In Arizona, it is a combination of MLK Jr Day and Civil Rights Day.

Karoline Leavitt Slammed After Suggesting Reports Of Deadly Strike On Iranian Girls' School Are Just 'Propaganda'

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was criticized after she rejected reports that the U.S. struck a girls' elementary school in Iran, killing 175 people, insisting in remarks to the press pool that it's just Iranian "propaganda" that they've "fallen" for.

Iranian state media and health officials said the strike occurred early Saturday morning in Minab, in the country’s southern Hormozgan Province. Journalists from international news organizations have not been granted access to independently verify the reported death toll or the circumstances surrounding the strike.

Model Accuses Fashion Brand Of Using AI To Recreate Her Looks For Ad Instead Of Hiring Her

There used to be laws in place for someone's likeness being used without their consent, and most certainly if their likeness was being used in an exploitative way for profit.
