It’s the eve of Election Day 2024, and this swing state has had its fill of campaign promises and hateful accusations, but UNC Greensboro student Kendall Garraway encourages voters to exercise their rights and remember their role in history.
“When it feels like oppressive forces are beating down on you and you have no choice but to give in, I look at history and I realized in every single aspect, the people have always won. I draw hope from history,” Garraway says.
Garraway has spent the last year serving internships at non-profits that encourage voter registration as she finishes a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal and Interdisciplinary Studies with a minor in political science, a dream made possible thanks to UNC Greensboro’s distance learning program.
Her journey, punctuated with tragedy and good fortune, makes you believe in the American dream and the power of education, despite a system that may seem flawed.
