Tom Joyner Offers Rachel Jeantel Full Ride To Any HBCU Of Her Choice
Throughout the Trayvon Martin case, Rachel Jeantel‘s testimony was the most difficult to watch. Jeantel was the last person to speak to Trayvon Martin before being killed by George Zimmerman who was found not guilty on July 13.
Jeantel was deemed as an implausible source due to her ‘lack of education.’ The 19-year-old was berated by many due to her speech, appearance and mannerisms. Fortunately her testimony and recent appearance on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight,” influenced Tom Joyner to lend a helping hand.
Joyner reached out to Jeantel and offered her a full scholarship to any HBCU of her choice. In addition to assisting the young teen with college, he also wants to help her complete high school with the best tutors and SAT courses. Jeantel hopes to pursue a career in law enforcement.
It’s good to see that during this time, everyone is coming together and trying to uplift one another. How do you feel about Tom Joyner’s generous offer?
#RachelJeantel told me that she wants to go into law enforcement and I want to help her. #TeamRachelJeantal—
