Radio personality Tom Joyner invited George Zimmerman trial witness Rachel Jeantel to his morning radio show on Tuesday — and greeted her with a big surprise.
“Here’s my offer to you, if you want to graduate from high
school and go to an HBCU*, even if it’s not in Florida but especially Florida,
like Florida Memorial, Edward Waters, Bethune Cookman or FAMU, if you want to
do that, I want to help you do that,” Joyner told Jeantel on The Tom Joyner
Morning Show, according to thegrio.com.
“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 said.
Jeantel responded with a “thank you” and Joyner went on to
explain that he was moved by her testimony and appearance on CNN’s Piers Morgan
show on Monday night, where she discussed her thoughts in the aftermath of
George Zimmerman trial.
