As a child, Countess Cooper ’23 S.T.M. used to join her mother on Tampa street corners on Saturday mornings, registering people to vote. “We would go where we knew people passed, maybe on a corner where there was a church. She would talk about the importance of voting and try to get them to register.” 🧵
