TSU tears up the Tiger Walk rocking with mayor to voting polls
Written by Vibe Houston Staff on October 19, 2020
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner marched to the polls with the students of Texas Southern University Tuesday for the first day of early voting. Just one look at the video and photos, it is safe to say that TSU “SHOWED UP AND SHOWED OUT!”
Turner challenged all of the colleges in the Houston area to get out and early vote.
The mayor discussed the importance of voting.
“Our students are the future of this country and their voices must be heard,” Turner said. “This is the most important election of our time and you simply cannot sit it out and expect to be heard.”
