Shaun you forgot to add their twitter handle @KalamazooPromis ... next who they get their funding from

Hey @KalamazooPromis you denied hard-working, intelligent Zaviona Woodruff a scholarship. May each & every one involved in that shameful, cruel decision be haunted by it when awake & asleep, in church, alone, with others, always. #heartless

@KalamazooPromiss shouldn't deny people their rights just because they were homeless. A very bright student and strong enough to keep her grades up while being homeless.. shame on them! Let's keep it trending people.

Agreed! This story needs to gain national attention until Zavonia Woodruff gets her promised scholarship, right @LesterHoltNBC ?

Shaun, I just looked up the contact info for The Kalamazoo Promise Executive Director. B/c this is Twitter: I'm not suggesting AT ALL that anyone troll him. But if enough of us write or call him, perhaps he'll see why this is a huge mistake: https://www.kalamazoopromise.com/home/bob_jorth 

Sent my email inquiring kindly wtf?

Homeless and still managed to go to school and maintain her GPA..all the more reason for her to have a scholarship.

@TheEllenShow

I went to college at WMU in Kalamazoo, the promise was an amazing achievement, but there are a million of these stories where they use loopholes to avoid honoring it. Almost always the victims are minorities or poor, the ppl who actually need it most.

I thought as much but was hoping it wasn’t so. So weary of the same ole racism. Loopholes used to keep certain groups struggling, hoping they will give up.

I’m sure it’s not intentional, but just your standard situation where your chances of being 100% qualified are that much harder depending on the quality of your school and socioeconomic standing.

#America, land of opportunity if you win the birth lottery. See, e.g., @MeghanMcCain

@KalamazooPromis #InstitutionalRacism is not acceptable. Approve the appeal. #KeepZavionasPromise #TBATshttps://twitter.com/mahschwartz1/status/1022526473146720258?s=21 …
