In 2018, Jay‐Z and his clothing company, Rocawear, filed suit against the American Arbitration Association because the AAA did not include a black arbitrator among the 12 arbitrators it proposed to handle a breach of contract dispute. See Helen Holmes, “Jay‐Z Halting His $204M Lawsuit Over a Lack of Black Arbitrators Could Be Historic,” Observer (Nov. 29, 2018) (available https://perma.cc/LY33‐A55Q); Petitioners' Memorandum of Law in Support of the Order to Show Cause for a Temp. Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction at 2, Carter v. Iconix Brand Group Inc., No. 655894/2018 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. Nov. 28, 2018) (available at https://perma.cc/98WE‐VRVJ).
