After watching Piers Morgan’s interview Monday with Rachel Jeantel, a key witness in George Zimmerman’s trial, KISS – FM radio personality Tom Joyner was so moved that he decided to do something extraordinary. During his Tuesday program, Joyner called Jeantel to express his admiration for her and offer to personally help her attend a historically black college or university. “I will help you get tutors to get you out of high school, tutors to help you pass the SAT and I will give you a full-ride scholarship to any HBCU you’d like,” he promised. His generous offer isn’t just a random grand gesture: Joyner has a foundation that provides full rides to HBCUs.
