Seen on this article at the Burnt Orange Report:

1000 students, along with an additional 1000 friends and supporters, are this morning [Tuesday, Feb 19] walking the 7.3 miles between Prairie View and Hempstead in order to vote today.

Or see yesterday's aerial shots of them walking.

Larger article in the Houston Chronicle here.

I don't know the history here, but this is what I see: the decision not just to speak, but to act. To quote a Farkism:

THIS.

To quote from Ana Marie Cox's election blog, Swampland, Texas' "Caucary/Primacus" is about to get really interesting. Have I mentioned how glad I am that Jeff got the old laptop fixed so that I could be productive on the couch while keeping up with primary coverage?
