They might be rivals on the football field, but Shaw University and Saint Augustine’s University teamed up today for an important cause: voting.
On Thursday, students from these two historically Black universities in Raleigh held a joint March to the Polls event, walking from Shaw University’s campus to the early voting site at Chavis Community Center to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
