A man is awarded a $4.4 million settlement after being racially profiled in Walmart

A Black man in Portland, Ore., has been awarded $4.4 million in a settlement after a jury determined he was racially profiled while shopping at Walmart. Here, the Walmart logo is seen outside a store in Burbank, Calif.

In a lawsuit filed against the company, Michael Mangum says he was followed around a Walmart in Wood Village, Ore., by one of the store's asset protection associates.
