13:18Now PlayingHerbert Washington, a former Major League Baseball Player and McDonald's largest Black franchisee in the U.S. at one point in time, is alleging the fast food company racially discriminated against him. He claims the food chain forced him to operate low-volume restaurants in Black neighborhoods and downsize his store base years later after grading his locations unfairly.
Last week Washington filed a lawsuit against McDonald's in Ohio federal court. He says once he started standing up for himself and other Black Franchisees, McDonald's began dismantling his life's work, forcing him to sell his stores to white operators.
McDonald's Franchisee Herb Washington and his attorney Kevin Conway spoke with Roland Martin about the racial discrimination suit filed against McDonald's.
