Six years after it was labeled a historically-racist store by Oberlin College, Gibson’s Bakery received a massive $36.59 payout from the school.
Oberlin College has forked over the $36 million owed to a local bakery after the progressive Ohio school falsely accused the family-operated business of being racist.
“We can confirm that all funds have been disbursed and that the family is continuing with the process of rebuilding Gibson’s Bakery for the next generations,” Brandon McHugh, the Gibson family’s attorney,“It’s definitely about right and wrong. And to be quite frank, the three students that shoplifted, they admitted their crimes,” adds McHugh. “It was Oberlin College that could never admit that what they did was wrong.
“I would replace the compressors for the refrigerators and replace the fryers and proofers that we use for our dough. I would pay off the mortgages on my properties that I’ve taken out in the past few years.
The family lost a substantial amount of business because of the allegations, Gibson said, even after the students admitted in 2017 that they hadn’t been racially profiled. They pled guilty to attempted theft.
