Houston ISD put out a press release announcing that journalist and TV host Roland Martin would be establishing two new scholarships at his alma mater, Jack Yates High School. I didn't realize Martin was from Houston or went to Yates (from where a number of notable folks graduated). I reached out to Martin via social media and caught up with him while he happened to be in town for an event. We met outside the school where a number of passers-by stopped to take photos with him after we chatted about the reasons why he wanted to give money to communications students and others.
