ARTICLE EXCERPT:
After initially rebuffing Tom Joyner’s efforts to purchase Morris Brown College, school officials said they are now having “conversations” with the syndicated radio personality about a deal for the troubled historically black college.
On Tuesday, Joyner’s sons, Oscar and Tom Jr., were among a contingent that met with Morris Brown leaders, including trustee chairman James Young.
“We’re just talking; we’re not going together yet,” Oscar Joyner., President & Chief Operating Officer of REACH Media Inc., told BlackAmericaWeb.com.
The younger Joyners did not provide further details, adding only that Morris Brown officials had gotten several e-mails and phone calls expressing frustration at why the school wasn’t seriously considering his father’s offer.
Joyner has made multiple offers to buy Morris Brown over the past two years, including a highly publicized effort in recent weeks during an interview on “The Tom Joyner Morning Show” with Vashti Murphy McKenzie, bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which founded the college.
