The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People led a multi-organization voter registration drive at Chatman’s Chicken in San Antonio on Saturday.
The National Coalition of 100 Black Women Inc. San Antonio Chapter and The Links, Incorporated of San Antonio worked with the NAACP San Antonio branch to encourage all people to vote. This year, the organizations are putting an emphasis on getting more women registered.
According to records from the Bexar County Elections Department, 48,234 people registered to vote between March 1 and September 23. Out of that number, more than half are women. In part of carrying on womanhood traditions, The Links, Inc. member Yvonne Horn Clemons brought along her 95-year-old mother who has spent decades registering women to vote.
