Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is encouraging the company's 191,000 employees to talk about race in America and other issues raised by police killings of unarmed black men in Ferguson, Missouri, and New York City. Schultz last week called an impromptu employee meeting at the company’s headquarters in Seattle. The more than 400 employees who attended were initially unaware of the agenda. “The last few weeks, I have felt a burden of personal responsibility,” Schultz told the crowd.
